Bush has sunk a Japanese fishing boat, downed a Chinese fighter, and crashed two jets in Scotland. All in 10 weeks. Do you have any actual reason to believe this is anything other then a string of bad luck? Even if Bush had new policies that would somehow increase the danger of such things happening he hasn't had time to implement too much yet. The training and most if not all of the current policy and doctrine of sailors and aircrew involved in these accidents are the responsibility of people that Clinton put in. Tim

Scumbria, <Clinton was President for 8 years without any type of uncontrolled international military incidents.> Off the top of my head: 1) Somalia 2) Kosovo (especially the bombing of a Chinese embassy and the loss of a high-tech stealth fighter) 3) Clipping of an Italian cable car by a military plane 4) Osprey crashes 5) U.S.S.

The US can't apologize nor should we since we haven't done anything illegal. These flights have been going on for years and will continue. If the US apologized the US Navy would have to redefine one of their prime rolls, "ensuring freedom of the seas". A country , including the US can't readjust it's boundaries when it suites them. Where countries have tried to adjust their coastal barriers, (past the internationally agreed 12 miles), in the past, the US Navy will go out of its way to test those boundaries as they did in Libya several years ago.
