Well, I hope everyone is happy now.

Yup, I am happy. It takes a big man to apologize. And Bush is that man.

All of us should be very grateful that God has given us President Bush to lead us against our foes

"It takes a big man to apologize."

American troops did no wrong. No harm was suffered by these POWs.

American personnel were given orders to humiliate enemy POWs as a means of preparing them for interrogation. These POWs were humiliated in a manner which threatened neither life nor limb. And, they were hooded, so that no one except those in immediate contact knew who they were, removing the risk of public disgrace after release.

This was a well-calculated and executed psychological operation. For Americans to feel sorry for this is disgraceful. For the President of the United States to apologize for this is also disgraceful.

Two possibilities exist: the President doesn't understand the nature of the enemy and the means necessary to weaken and defeat him, or the President feels that the USA has done grievous wrong and should perform public contrition. Either situation means that Bush is not capable as a warime leader beyond his willigness to prosecute the war. At the moment, he is doing exactly what his political opponent recommended. Bush further refuses to confront domestic Leftists.
