It's just difficult to take that coment seriously. Apologize to the dead soldiers in their graves? Come on, that won't solve our problems. It might satisfy your need to see the president humilated, but other than that what purpose would it serve? I had to assume you were joking or else I would have had to pity you.
Apologies are only useful to those who are able to hear them, the families of the soliders for instance. But in my opinion it would only cheapen the sacrifices of the soldiers and deepen the sorrow of their families if they were served with an empty apology by a political figurehead. It's best for everyone if Bush keeps his regrets to himself.
