say, did bush ever apologize for not warning us about 9/11?
cause he knew, it was a headline for about a month, 'BUSH KNEW, although i realize it's 'old news'.

the fucker KNEW it was coming, was REPEATEDLY warned about it, and went on FUCKING VACATION for a month without troubling himself or us with the truth. or even a 'heads up ya'll'.

did he apologize for that, cause if he did, i missed it.

1. I'm sorry, what headline are you referring to (that "Bush knew")?

(CBS) President Bush was told in the months before the Sept. 11 attacks that Osama bin Laden's terrorist network might hijack U.S. passenger planes - information which prompted the administration to issue an alert to federal agencies - but not the American public.

CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin says the warning was in a document called the President's Daily Brief, which is considered to be the single most important document that the U.S. intelligence community turns out. The document did not, however, mention the possibility of planes being flown into buildings.

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said that while President Bush was told last summer that bin Laden's al Qaeda network might hijack planes, "until the attack took place, I think it's fair to say that no one envisioned that as a possibility."

However, a federal report issued exactly two years before the Sept. 11 attacks contrasts with that statement.

7. Seems the only thing he's come close to being sorry for was the
'BRING IT ON!!' statement; and he only said he may have misspoke. He only did this after the insurgents made that video saying something like, "And to you, Mr. Bush, we say---'Bring it on!'--Dubya probably crapped his pants when he heard that. His little taunts probably got a lot of people killed. And don't forget 'hang 'em from the highest tree'--right after that, the contractors were burned, beaten and hung from the bridge.

Think he would be saying that if he actually had to fight himself?

I wish he hadn't either, but he did it with heart and class.
I think many Americans do recognize such qualities and may start to understand that the RWingers are too immature and arrogant to ever admit to anything.
Anyone who has raised kids should be able to recognize the difference between accepting responsibility and being dishonest.
Well,I said SHOULD be able to.

10. I doubt it.
It think most Americans are fooled by this crap. His statements read in context clearly were a statement of his personal shame in the POW treatment by his own country. If those really were his feeling then he should not have back down from them.
