The President is a gentleman and a statesman and a leader; a pearl that swine just can't stand.

There is a big difference between a gentleman and a chump. Bush is a chump. A chump takes his shoes off in a mosque 5 days after 9/11. A statesman would never have done so. Say what you will about FDR, but it would have been unimaginable for him to have visited a Shinto shrine 5 days after Pearl Harbor.

FDR wasn’t relying on the help of millions of Japanese to assist us against Tojo. The comparison is invalid.

Hey George!!!!
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!

If you’re going to open your mouth, here’s list of one-liners:

- The foundation of Obama’s foreign policy is appeasement, why is he complaining when his speeches are full of it?

- Americans should not appologize for their prosperity, they should teach the rest of the world how they can also achieve prosperity.

- The ‘Global Warming’ lie is just an elite excuse to deny prosperity for the poor of the world.

Let’s not forget the destruction of Joseph’s Tomb in the West Bank city of Nablus and the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem when the palestinians defiled and occupied this holy and sacred Christian site for a month. Where was the outcry?

Does anybody, including George Bush himself, remember George Bush saying right after 9-11 “you’re either with us or against us”?

Do any of these politicians know what it’s like to live in the daily hellhole and danger of mortal combat and yet have to worry about some JAG or moronic politician safe at home in Washington looking over his shoulder question every move he makes?

Good. Some people think the way to victory is to unnecessarily offend people. They are wrong.

Also, Bush is the one in charge of that soldier.

How about Muslims apologizing every time they desecrate a Bible or a Torah?

Or, after they lop the head off of a Christian?

That’s it; a good sniper leaves no trace of his passing through. This was his big mistake.

I despise islam! But what a dumba$$ thing for that soldier to do! Great effort has been put forward to gain the cooperation of the iraqi people, and he pulls a dumb stunt. He’s finished in the service.

Couldn't have said it better my self.

Is that what we're doing? Relying on Muslims to assist in the defeat of Islamofascists? Not working too well, as we have discovered with Muslim FBI agents refusing to tape terror suspects, and Muslim Arabic translators passing messages to terrorists (and...). Bush is a chump because he will never accept what any sensible person anywhere in the West can see: the war is with Islam. But his disgrceful mosque visit after 9/11 and this silly apology is nothing next to his efforts to promote Albanian Islam in the heart of Europe, and his browbeating of Israel to create a terror state for the sake of his own legacy.

Well he did know the attack was coming and that a war mobilization waas the only way to reapir the dammage his failed socilaist policies had done to an already depressed economy.

That about covers it.

All of you W apologist make me ill. Islam is the enemy. They do the same thing to the Bible on a regular basis. It is war. Bush should NEVER have apologized. Shows weakness in the ME mind. If it was important to him the soldier's CO should of apologized and the discipline carried out - leaders DO NOT apologize in the ME. The ME laughs at our apologetic President today.

Why? When did anyone EVER publicly apologize for burning, ripping, or otherwise destroying, a Bible?

That is what so many on this forum will never understand.
