Bush should apologize to the American people..
The Plain Truth


It's hard to imagine how the commission investigating the 2001 terrorist attacks could have put it more clearly yesterday: there was never any evidence of a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda, between Saddam Hussein and Sept. 11.

Now President Bush should apologize to the American people, who were led to believe something different.

Of all the ways Mr. Bush persuaded Americans to back the invasion of Iraq last year, the most plainly dishonest was his effort to link his war of choice with the battle against terrorists worldwide. While it's possible that Mr. Bush and his top advisers really believed that there were chemical, biological and nuclear weapons in Iraq, they should have known all along that there was no link between Iraq and Al Qaeda. No serious intelligence analyst believed the connection existed; Richard Clarke, the former antiterrorism chief, wrote in his book that Mr. Bush had been told just that.
...

On Monday, Mr. Cheney said Mr. Hussein "had long-established ties with Al Qaeda." Mr. Bush later backed up Mr. Cheney, claiming that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a terrorist who may be operating in Baghdad, is "the best evidence" of a Qaeda link. This was particularly astonishing because the director of central intelligence, George Tenet, told the Senate earlier this year that Mr. Zarqawi did not work with the Hussein regime.

3. Knowing how arrogant they are let them squirm a little first and apologize
they indict them and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

2. Getting tiresome listening to "One Lies and the other SWEARS to IT" game.
How long will it take for Dennis Hastert to realize Republican credibility is sinking faster than Bush's popularity?
Has Hastert lost his way? Is he putting Pride before the countrys prioritys? Will Hastert fall along with the Bush Administration as another corrupt arm of the Bush Cabal?

A call from Congressional members needs to be made demanding Hastert appoint a Special Prosecutor or direct House Managers to begin Impeachment proceedings at once!

8. Apologize my ass
how do you bring back 900 dead soldiers? How do you bring back tens of thousands of dead innocent Iraqi's and their children?

He can sobbingly apologize to the world, then he can pay back the BILLIONS he & Halliburton stole from the taxpayers for this phoeny war - and then he can be impeached, tried and convicted and taken to a prision where he will live out the rest of his days being tortured in the very same manner he approved for the "detainees".

11. I Don't Want An Apology
An apology won't resurect anyone who lost their life as a result of their policies. I want them to go home - never to be heard from again.
