"Why the hell is he apologizing to Jordan's King Abdullah? "

He didn't apologize to King Abdullah. All he said was that he was sorry for the humiliation the prisoners felt and sorry that people (not unlike some on this board) will get the wrong impression of our country (due to the irresponsiible actions of a few soldiers).

Absolutely Darlin'

Last weekend we hosted a pool party for a young man who suffers from cerebral palsy and is wheelchair bound. Unfortunately, it rained all day. As he glance out the window at the pool and the rain, I bet I said "I'm so sorry your party was rained out, Nicholas..." a half dozen times. With this "apology" I certainly didn't take the blame or shoulder the responsibility for the rain.

I feel my comments to Nicholas were similar to those the President made to King Abdullah.
