We're now officially a nation of softies. Apologizing during a war for some hurt feelings and some humiliation of terrorists.

Unreal.

If you say so, but we're still killing them: U.S. forces take key Najaf outpost

Try to be a big boy and live in the real world, okay?

Peter, I'm with you. Just a bunch of limp rags. Will the veterans who have gone before and sacrificed so much, saw so much but came home, built lives for themselves and put it in the past, forgive us? This war is being run by feelings..........(excuse me while I go blow chunks!).

Agreed. The WOT is now officially a 'police action'. Send the soldiers home and bring in the lawyers.

And how far is it from here to voting out the people who fight terrorism and joining Spain for group hugs and kum bi yah while the arabs take over the frapping world is what I want to know.

Its over. Bush is lost. We must ready ourselves for President Kerry. ( a warmed over Clinton without the charm ). This will not help the war effort.

What is wrong with you and the others on here who are bashing the president on this? Do you want Bush to say, "Those folks were terrorists and they deserved to be brutalized because they do the same to us"? Would that have pleased you? Last time I checked the United States is supposed to be held to different standards than a bunch of Islamic thugs. What those enlistees did was a damn abomination, and Bush showed courage by condemning it and apologizing.
