Bush Apologized for Quran Desecration

Rick Santorum was quick to vilify President Obama for a perfectly justified apology to the Afghani people over the accidental burning of Qu'Rans last week. Santorum even went so far as to say the Afghan government owes the United States an apology for overreacting.

What Rick Santorum conveniently left out was that George W. Bush also apologized for desecration of the Qu'Ran.  Here's an excerpt from the May 2008 story from the Huffington Post:

Bush's spokeswoman said Tuesday that the president apologized during a videoconference Monday with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who told the president that the shooting of Islam's holy book had disappointed and angered both the Iraqi people and their leaders.

"He apologized for that in the sense that he said that we take it very seriously," White House press secretary Dana Perino said. "We are concerned about the reaction. We wanted them to know that the president knew that this was wrong."

I'm going to make a prediction. I say Santorum takes Michigan and Romney takes Arizona.

That being said, does Santorum even get why Dems are voting for him??? I mean he has this stupid robo call saying hey all you Dems come vote for me. After he insults an assassinated beloved Democratic President. Dems are voting for him because they know Obama can whip his a** in November. Michael Moore who is from Michigan said he and alot of Dems were going to the polls to vote for Santorum, not because they like the guy. I just can't help being giddy about the fact it is actually Democrats who are possibly going to derail the clown car!!! LOL!!!

This whole group call the gop=tea baggers are living on the moon with president newtster and is wife from mars. We the USA are now getting it's standing back in the world again as a fair and just country instead of being the gun totting man from the now dead wild west. If somebody makes a mistake what is wrong with saying we made an honest mistake. That shows more positive than just saying suck it up we are your masters as we kicked you butt. These people just love war war and more war as they see their bank accounts grow bigger bigger and more bigger. I hope our president will say find it is time to leave as we are not a welcomed force here and it is time for you to determine your own way, but if you allow the bad guys to come in and try to harm the USA we will be back.. gwb said we made mistakes but how soon these people forget the history and facts.

just my humble view

This party, a bunch of war mongers, and haters, always has been, and always will be!!!!! They side with, or seem to like the troops, when its politically convenient for them to do so! They are a bunch of iosolationists, who do not understand the first thing about getting along with others, how would they know how to accommodate a whole country!

Now, Santorum wants to walk back the remarks about JFK! Well, sorry" sicko,"you already said those words, and they are there on video for all the world to see forever. Trying to walk it all back just won't work! Mr. Sanbullshitin, you are not in the same league with President Kennedy, or President Obama! If the election was today, and you were the sucko- nominee, you would lose to the President, by 26 points!!

Please go away now! Before, "I Throw Up"!!!!

I guess it never occurred to this embecile that we've still got troops over there. Those troops are in alot more danger when something like this happens. An apology could possibly save lives.
