Bush's retreat on this is most unfortunate. The instincts of this White House aren't great. Limbaugh's tact would have been preferable. This is appeasement--Bush shouldn't constantly cave to the dems and the media.

Well, I see you managed to drag your gloom and doom to THIS THREAD, too.

Take your smears somewhere else.

Bush shouldn't constantly cave to the dems and the media.

He doesn't.

Appeasement is trying to avoid getting your ass whipped by groveling. Saying you're sorry when your friend has been offended is merely good manners. We may have liberated Iraq from Saddam Hussein but that doesn't give us the liberty to treat any Iraqi people like garbage. I don't like bullies in any uniform. Mocking and degrading another human being who is tied up and helpless is the act of a sick bully. I, too, am sorry for what my fellow Americans did in that prison...they hurt our country and made us look like the bullies we are always accused of being...apologizing because someone was hurt is not the same as apologizing to avoid being hurt.
