While on the subject of Obama's so-called Apology Tour...

Here is the full text of the letter from U.S. Ambassador Joseph Prueher to Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan, as issued by the U.S. embassy on Wednesday April 11, 2001, and remarks of President Bush:

Dear Mr. Minister,

On behalf of the United States Government, I now outline steps to resolve this issue. Both President Bush and Secretary of State Powell have expressed their sincere regret over your missing pilot and aircraft. Please convey to the Chinese people and to the family of the pilot Wang Wei that we are very sorry for their loss.
