Yeah, you bet. LOL. Again, had Clinton used EXACTLY the same wording and EXACTLY the same course of action, everyone here would've deemed it a cave.

Speak for yourself. Personally, I cannot stand Bill Clinton, but I think that it's counterproductive to jump on every thing that he ever says or does. I believe in giving credit where credit is due and in being honest. If Clinton had expressed regret over the deaths of the pilots, I would have reacted in exactly the same way that I reacted when Bush said it. If anyone would have tried to call that an apology, I would have pointed out that to regret a death is not to apologize for it and it is not to take responsibility for it.
I regret the death of Gregory Peck. Now did I just apologize? Of course not.
Frankly, too many people around here attack Clinton too much. By that I mean that by jumping on his every word and every deed, it only increases his popularity with people who feel that he's being unfairly maligned. My opinion about Clinton in that regard has always been that he's done and said enough that's worthy of the harshest criticism without having to try to buttress it with exagerated or embellished claims.
