<<<They should ALL apologize -- especially the Democrats who showed neither good judgement nor political leadership on this issue. >>>

I think we can assume that Politicians have a very strange, almost unrecognized way of apologizing.

The 911 commission composed almost entirely of politicians, has just apologized for being negligent and uninformed by saying it was the fault of the intelligence people, all of them, who caused us to have excessive fear of Saddams capabilities.

They certainly have enough to apologize for other than Iraq.

Every time they send a piece of pork to a specific city or State , they owe an apology to people of the other 49 States who have to pay for part of the hog at inflated prices.

If they did send out a letter of apology for each transgression, it would clog the mail system and raise the price of postage.

Downing Street has admitted to The Observer that repeated claims by Tony Blair that '400,000 bodies had been found in Iraqi mass graves' is untrue, and only about 5,000 corpses have so far been uncovered.
