apology...what apology...?
Edited on Fri May-07-04 11:05 PM by imax2268
Why do I keep hearing the media saying that BushCo apologized for the torture scandle...
How can it be an apology to the Iraqi people if he didn't even apologize to them...?
He apologized to the king of F'ing Jordan for Petes sake...that just sounds absurd to me...last time I checked...Jordan was not in Iraq...am I missing something here...?

3. King-to-King apology
That's the BFEE way. That's arrogance and hubris and hate working overtime. That is the Bu$h Family way.

6. In light of recent
breaking news stories i think the squatter in chief is a little beyond apologies at this point.

7. Bush said that he told King Abdullah that he was sorry.
Maybe we should apologize to the Irish for the "Trail of Tears".

8. "Seen one you seen them all" I guessing that his "logic"
making an apology to the King of Jordan for raping Iraqis.

Right up with attacking Iraq and Afghanistan because Saudis
attacked on 911.

Bush logic at work.

10. Post-President Careers - Bush The Marriage Counselor - Apologies 101
BUSH THE MARRIAGE COUNSELOR:

Husband: I was out at Vegas with some buddies they had hired a couple of strippers and were busted by the Vice squad in their hotel room. The police also found our stash. Luckily, I had gone back to my room to get my wallet. What should I say? She's real pissed.

Bush: Remind her of the progress you’ve made, that you are looking into why your friends did what you did, and assure her of complete transparency with respect to your findings.

Husband: What do I say when she points out that is was my idea to go to Vegas in the first place?

Bush: Tell her that you had no idea of your friend's plans and that you are just as appalled as she is at the behavior of your friends. Insist that thier conduct is an aberation, that you do not condone it, and it is not reflective of the behavior of the type of friends you know.

Husband: What about my best friend Donny Rumfellow? The strippers were in his room, and the police found his stash. She’s going to demand that I stop hanging out with the guy.

Bush: Leak out through her friends that you had a stern discussion with Rumfellow and that you were irate with his behavior. Better yet, just start yelling at him in front of some of her friends. If she tells you to stop hanging with him, tell her that you told Don off, but that he has been a friend for a long time. Tell her that you still have the utmost confidence in Don.

Husband: Gee, shouldn't I just apologize in the first place?

Bush: Heavens no. Just tell her that women must understand that relationships are not perfect. Tell her that women must understand the pressures that a guy in your position experiences when he is in Vegas. Don’t apologize, because apologizing indicates weakness, and wives respect husbands who are in a position of strength. After all, its not like you were the one who was arrested by the vice squad.

Husband: What if she gets mad and starts to yell at me?

Bush: Then tell her to bring it on!

Husband: But what if she threatens to leave me?

Bush: Well, in that case, say sorry until you are blue in the face if it will calm her down.

Husband: Thanks Mr. Bush!

Bush: Just call me “W.”
