How Not to Say Sorry

Bush has apologized to Blair for not filling in the right paperwork when the US shipped bombs through Prestwick recently on their way to Israel. An apology of sorts, anyway:

"Mr Blair's official spokesman told reporters: 'President Bush did apologise for the fact that proper procedures were not followed, but that was all. It was just one line.

"As part of the introduction, the president said sorry there was a problem.'"

Presumably Blair accepted the 'apology' on behalf of the rest of us, since he doesn't personally care about that or any other paperwork.

But many of the rest of us would like an apology from the US Government – and indeed from the British Government – for continuing to fuel the carnage by supplying weapons at all...
