In your opinion is G.W.Bush owed an apology?

It turns out this isn't even a WikiLeaks revelation, but a re-hasing of an already-discredited Republicant con attempt: http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/yellowcake.asp "The yellowcake removed from Iraq in 2008 was material that long since been identified, documented, and stored in sealed containers under the supervision of U.N. inspectors." In fact, that yellowcake was leftovers from nuclear reactors that had been bombed out of commission by Israel i n1981 and the US in 1991. It had been in U.N. possession and safekeeping since 1991, and was never a part of any attempt to produce nuclear weapons. Mr. Bush's 2003 claims remain a lie, and he is due no apology. The American "Thinker", on the other hand, owes itsreaders two apologies: one for lying, and a second for insulting it's readers intelligence so severely as to serve up a better lie that only would only fool those who desperately want to be fooled.

And that justifies the secret prisons and authorizations of torture?

Thanks for the good discussion and good reference article lead. I wouldn't mind if they hung the WikkiLeaks dude, but at least we can get a little good out of the info. This is one of the ways to distinguish a good and successful president. When you get the media hype and lies out of the way, you can dig into the facts. With a President like Bush, you find that he was right all along and the mainstream media is all likes and deception. I think history will continue to show that President Bush was a good (not perfect) president, and a man of integrity. Someday when they dig into obama's past, they are only going to find more of the bad news history that shows his election to possibly be the worst mistake this country has ever made. President Bush is way too much a man of integrity and caring to ever get us into a war for no good reason. Considering the democrats fought against the US for eight years during that war it is kind of hard for them to admit the truth, so they continue to generate lies. It won't be long that you will look up liar in the dictionary and it will say 'also known as democrat'.

Of course, Iraq possessed WMD originally given to Iraq by the US for the purpose of annihilating Iran, a nation the US has always found not easy to manipulate! Why do you think the US would not believe the report of the UN inspectors? Because the US knew exactly what it gave to Iraq!

We knew Iraq had WMDs since before 1991 because we sold them WMDs so it wasn't that hard to prove it. The hard point would be proving they where threatening to use them or hated the United States to use them against us. People seem to forget we where Allies with Iraq. Until Operation Desert Storm. Bush will most likely have a few things that will mark him as not being a good president but an Okay one. The Economy before he left the White House was broken. The fact that he allowed both torturing "POWs" (Can't have POW really when you aren't in a actual war)also the violations to the United States Constitution that he allowed to pass like the Patriot Act and other Acts that haven't made us any safer really. He wasn't a bad president but he wasn't good either. As for being owed an Apology nope he pushed for being allowed to go into Iraq and Afganhistan without a Declaration of War which violates both the US Constitution and the Values of the United States. Pre-emptive War is the worst thing we can do because it makes us equal to the Germany of WWII who used that same tactic.

The article would be of interest if it actually linked to at least some of the documents in WikiLeaks that support the claims it makes. That goes for the townhall.com article that the AT article links to, as well.

Is he owed an apology? yes. Will he get it? no. I read about this on another site and the comments were ridiculous. Saying that Bush was still wrong, that there were still no WMDs. Lets face it, Bush is the favorite fall guy and most likely will stay that way. I believe however that history well tell the truth about him and in 50 years it will be reported that he wasnt such a bad president

As TheMetallion pointed out, this is a complete and utter lie. You do acknowledge that, right?

I have always said the time will show that G.W. BUSH was a wonderful president. He was lied about, called all kinds of names and made fun of but not ounce has he retaliated. I regret that its taking a group of criminals to bring out the truth but lets face it the liberal press would never allow it to come out any other way. I have 3 tee shirts that say Miss me yet? with his picture on it and wear them proudly

There are those us who are still angry about the 2000 election and no matter what positive evidence is given, they will never believe it and will never offer an apology. I doubt Bush cares.

He doesn't need it. He probably doesn't want it. Bush is the best I've ever seen at ignoring stuff. Sometimes that's a good thing. Sometimes it's bad. But when it comes to people giving him hell over whatever, he really doesn't care. For that reason, in the words of the great George Costanza, "stuff your sorries in a sack!"

I do think Bush was trashed unjustly, but he made mistakes as well. The left trashed his name and continue to do so to the detriment of the American people.
