Rush is asking this same question now. Why apologize to King Abdullah, of all people?

Especially since Jordan uses real torture. can you imagine what they have been doing to the terrorists they caught trying to set off that chemical bomb plot.

[Howlin]

Because Rush, just like you, didn't LISTEN to what Bush said.

I think that's actually pretty clever of the Prez - Abdullah is a U.S. ally, he's just had a real al-Qaeda/WMD scare, he's been a rock of support for our intelligence efforts, and the guys we really don't like, (Syrians, Iranians) have been trying to destabilize him for years. Said to him this bolsters his standing in the Arab world. Great move, IMHO.
