... To King Abdullah II... of Jordan."[King Abdullah and I] also talked about what has been on the TV screens recently, not only in our own country, but overseas -- the images of cruelty and humiliation. I told His Majesty as plainly as I could that the wrongdoers will be brought to justice, and that the actions of those folks in Iraq do not represent the values of the United States of America.
I told him I was sorry for the humiliation suffered by the Iraqi prisoners, and the humiliation suffered by their families. I told him I was equally sorry that people who have been seeing those pictures didn't understand the true nature and heart of America. I assured him Americans, like me, didn't appreciate what we saw, that it made us sick to our stomachs. I also made it clear to His Majesty that the troops we have in Iraq, who are there for security and peace and freedom, are the finest of the fine, fantastic United States citizens, who represent the very best qualities of America: courage, love of freedom, compassion, and decency |
That's great, Georgie! Now, give the nice people who were actually affected an apology, along with the freedom to make their own choices without you, and you're all set!
I can see the headlines now: Osama Bin Laden tells the people of Australia that he is sorry for attacking the United States. When asked why he apologized to Australia, rather than the US, Osama replied "Hell, you all speak English and you're all Christians... I didn't realize there was a difference!"
Jeeeez
