Can anyone imagine reporters during World War II asking President Franklin Roosevelt if he'd like to apologize for the number of American dead and wounded, or Harry Truman if he'd like to repent for dropping bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which forced Japan to surrender? Those were different times -- when "psycho" meant you were crazy and "babble" meant you didn't make any sense.

An apology isn't necessary because Americans are not the ones blowing themselves up and trying to take others with them. Americans don't seek territorial gains. Americans are not depriving others of humanity's most basic right -- freedom. If any apologies are due, they should come from the warmongering religious fascists who fear freedom and pervert the name of God. If a mistake has been made, it is by the insurgents and terrorists who believe that the United States learned nothing from Vietnam and Mogadishu. The Bush administration knows we can't afford a replay of those conflicts.

You want to look at the face of a "warmongering religious fascist"? try looking in the fucking mirror, asshole. Better yet, look at the entire fucking Shrubco cadre.

No wonder this president doesn't like prime-time news conferences. They are not used by reporters to transmit information to the public. Rather, they serve as fronts for the Kerry campaign (most journalists vote for Democrats in case you didn't know), and they are used as a platform for reporters to preen and pretend they are doing the people's business. :tinfoilhat:

Cal, baby, I think the tinfoil's cutting off the circulation to your brain.

2. Peacock's full of it

An apology isn't necessary because Americans are not the ones blowing themselves up and trying to take others with them.

Nope. We don't blow ourselves up, but we sure do blow a lot of other folks up!

Americans don't seek territorial gains.

I bet Cal will tell me that we didn't make any territorial gains in Japan and Germany, either. Ask the citizens of Okinawa about that.

Americans are not depriving others of humanity's most basic right -- freedom.

Killing people frustrated because you won't let them choose their own form of government seems like an infringement on "humanity's most basic right" to me Cal, but then again, what do I know? I lack syndication.

If any apologies are due, they should come from the warmongering religious fascists who fear freedom and pervert the name of God.

Wait I thought you said Bush shouldn't apologize?

If a mistake has been made, it is by the insurgents and terrorists who believe that the United States learned nothing from Vietnam and Mogadishu.

Well, they'd be right, wouldn't they?

The Bush administration knows we can't afford a replay of those conflicts.

CLEARLY they don't!

4. funny how it's only killing

if it's someone else killing an American. Seems we can kill thousands of innocents civillians, but those are only 'regrettable'.

There is something very wrong with the world.
