Bush apologizes for Walter Reed

Who's sorry now?

Don't know if he's hungover or if he's truly sorry, but President Bush apologized today for the $hitty conditions at Walter Reed. He'd better be apologizing - he's a draft dodger/war monger wh's actions have harmed these kids for life. And, hey, George! A photo-op ain't gonna be enough.

President Bush apologized to troops face to face on Friday for shoddy conditions they have endured at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He shook the artificial hand of a lieutenant and cradled a newborn whose daddy is nursing his remaining, severely injured leg back to health....But Steve Robinson with Veterans for America tells a different story.

"I was at Walter Reed yesterday. Within 10 minutes I was encircled by about 15 soldiers having problems with their medical discharge, telling me they needed to get in touch with their congressman or their senator," Robinson said. "The system is broke," he said. "We need him (Bush) to be personally affected by it."

McCain Asks Kerry to Apologize

Who's apologizing now?

Not John Kerry, yet, anyway. McCain wants him to, according to Drudge, but who believes Drudge these days:

Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country's call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education. Americans from all backgrounds, well off and less fortunate, with high school diplomas and graduate degrees, take seriously their duty to our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.

They all deserve our respect and deepest gratitude for their service. The suggestion that only the least educated Americans would agree to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, is an insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk so that the rest of us can sleep more comfortably at night. Without them, we wouldn't live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and uninformed remarks.
