Haven't read all yet, thanks for the ping.

First reaction was upset that President Bush said he was sorry this happened. A few minutes later, I laughed. Any further clamoring by libs/demsDem's do will be perceived as piling on the troops during these difficult times.

I agree with Glenn's analysis of this. So sorry you had a bad day, sorry she stubbed her toe. It is not "I am sorry" for anything.

I, too, think this was the President's way of short circuiting the media on this. Now they have to run back to DNC to get the new talking points.

I have no doubt that Rummy will handle the inquisitors, who want his head on a pike, with his usual aplomb.

Bingo this is why he said what he said.

Have you seen how upset some of the families (and lawyers) of the soldiers involved are by what they deem as excessive demonization of the soldiers? They are saying that W is out of touch with what soldiers go through in combat.

I think that is a troubling development!

I think the Left is trying to get Bush to appear to not be sufficiently backing up the troops. They know that will cause Bush trouble with his base.
