Bush Apologizes, Kerry Responds
With the President of Jordan at his side, President Bush issued an apology for U.S. soldiers' abuse of Iraqi prisoners. John Kerry responds:
As president, I will not be the last to know what is going on in my command," Kerry said. "I will demand accountability for those who serve and I will take responsibility for their actions. And I will do everything that I can in my power to repair the damage that this has caused to America to our standing in the world and to the ideals for which we stand."
Kerry also called for Rumsfeld to resign:
It's the way it was handled. The lack of information to the Congress, the lack of information to the country, not managing it, not dealing with it, recognizing it as an issue. But look this is, this is the frosting," Kerry said. "I think Iraq and the miscalculation and the overextension of the armed forces and the entire way in which they rushed the nation to war under these assumptions that he was making - which were incorrect - is a huge, historic miscalculation and I thought he should have resigned then."
Bush says Rumsfeld will remain in his cabinet. Just another reason to Boot Bush. Give today.
