    This Letter of Apology was written by Lieutenant General

    This Letter of Apology was written by Lieutenant General Chuck Pitman, US Marine Corps, Retired:

    "For good and ill, the Iraqi prisoner abuse mess will remain an issue On the one hand, right thinking Americans will harbor the stupidity of the actions while on the other hand, political glee will take control and fashion this minor event into some modern day massacre.

    I humbly offer my opinion here:

    I am sorry that the last seven times we Americans took up arms and sacrificed the blood of our youth, it was in the defense of Muslims (Bosnia, Kosovo, Gulf War 1, Kuwait, etc.).
    I am sorry that no such call for an apology upon the extremists came after 9/11.
    I am sorry that all of the murderers on 9/11 were Islamic Arabs.
    I am sorry that most Arabs and Muslims have to live in squalor under savage dictatorships.
    I am sorry that their leaders squander their wealth.
    I am sorry that their governments breed hate for the US in their religious schools, mosques, and government-controlled media.
    I am sorry that Yassar Arafat was kicked out of every Arab country and high-jacked the Palestinian "cause."
    I am sorry that no other Arab country will take in or offer more than a token amount of financial help to those same Palestinians.
    I am sorry that the USA has to step in and be the biggest financial supporter of poverty stricken Arabs while the insanely wealthy Arabs blame the USA for all their problems.
    I am sorry that our own left wing, our media, and our own brainwashed masses do not understand any of this (from the misleading vocal elements of our society like radical professors, CNN and the NY TIMES).
    I am sorry the United Nations scammed the poor people of Iraq out of the "food for oil" money so they could get rich while the common folk suffered.
    I am sorry that some Arab governments pay the families of homicide bombers upon their death.
    I am sorry that those same bombers are brainwashed thinking they will receive 72 virgins in "paradise."
    I am sorry that the homicide bombers think pregnant women, babies, children, the elderly and other noncombatant civilians are legitimate targets.
    I am sorry that our troops die to free more Arabs from the gang rape rooms and the filling of mass graves of dissidents of their own making.
    I am sorry that Muslim extremists have killed more Arabs than any other group.
    I am sorry that foreign trained terrorists are trying to seize control of Iraq and return it to a terrorist state.
    I am sorry we don't drop a few dozen Daisy cutters on Fallujah.
    I am sorry every time terrorists hide they find a convenient "Holy Site."
    I am sorry they didn't apologize for driving a jet into the World Trade Center that collapsed and severely damaged Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church - one of our Holy Sites.
    I am sorry they didn't apologize for flight 93 and 175, the USS Cole, the embassy bombings, the murders and beheadings of Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl, etc....etc!
    I am sorry Michael Moore is American; he could feed a medium sized village in Africa.
    America will get past this latest absurdity. We will punish those responsible because that is what we do.

    We hang out our dirty laundry for the entire world to see. We move on. That's one of the reasons we are hated so much. We don't hide this stuff like all those Arab countries that are now demanding an apology.

    Deep down inside, when most Americans saw this reported in the news, we were like - so what? We lost hundreds and made fun of a few prisoners. Sure , it was wrong, sure, it dramatically hurts our cause, but until captured we were trying to kill these same prisoners. Now we're supposed to wring our hands because a few were humiliated?

    Our compassion is tempered with the vivid memories of our own people killed, mutilated and burnt amongst a joyous crowd of celebrating Fallujahans.

    If you want an apology from this American, you're going to have a long wait!

    You have a better chance of finding those seventy-two virgins.

        everything else aside, i think that was one one of the most racist and ignorant comments i have ever heard.

        no one can deny that we created the mess in the middle east. we throw money one way, drill up oil over there, support torture and dictators where convenient, and call for democracy, secularization and transparency where we see potential for exploitation.

        in a nutshell

            I'm sorry that Bush cheated to become president in 2000.
            I'm sorry that no one died when Clinton lied.
            I'm sorry that we took it upon ourselves to end world terror.
            I'm sorry that Bush lied in order to instill democracy upon an Arab nation.
            I'm sorry that Iraqis are afraid for their lives when they walk down the street.
            I'm sorry that 90% of Sunni muslims won't go to polls.
            I'm sorry that America is running out of money.
            I'm sorry that we betrayed our UN allies and ran into Iraq, guns blazing.
            I'm sorry that 51% of America thinks with their bible.
            I'm sorry that the polarization of political views in America will tear us apart.
            I'm sorry that Bush wasn't born with a fully-functional brain.

              and

                I'm sorry for Chuck Pitman. I'm relieved to see not all Americans are like him, not even the Reps. Most Reps I've met here are quite a bit smarter and better in discussions than some high-ranking peepz...

                    im not, at least i know i can walk down 6th avenue to my job and have a little more security knowing that a fucking plane isn't heading into the building above me. my uncle used to have that feeling, but he went to work on that tuesday and died. i didnt care/still dont care what we ahve to do to get the people involved, even if it means tearing the whole fucking region apart. sad, i'll admit, but true.

                    I'm sorry that the polarization of political views in America will tear us apart
                    you seem to be one of these people, especially with comments like this
                    I'm sorry that 51% of America thinks with their bible.
                    deal with it and accept that a lot of people in the world care about thier faith. isn't this the reason why the iraqi insurgents are fighting to prevent a damocracy.

                        yup, especially the idiots who have put on the "i'd still vote for kerry" bumperstickers. listen guys, he lost, he was an elitist new england putz. he had the moral character of a chimp. remember him begging the veterans to throw away thier medals in a protest when in fact he kept his and still has them in a plaque at his home. granted bush cant speak for shit, but in reality you cant be too stupid if you accumulated enough wealth to buy a baseball team and run a huge state.

                            First of all, Kerry, at least served in the Viet Nam war. That's more than we can say for a lot of our leaders today. The throwing of the medals was symbolic of the distaste for the Viet Nam war (you missed the whole point!).It's called a metaphor!
                            It takes a HUGE amount of moral character to go and fight a war and then realize it is wrong and come home and say so. Obviously you just don't get it. Furthermore, it's no suprise that Bush bought a major league team-he comes from one of the most wealthy, most powerful NEW ENGLAND families in the U.S.-they are called the Bushes!! Go back to elementary school until you can learn to use reason and not just plain stupidity to debate.

                              how can you be a redneck and a new england family?

                              and metephor or not, he called all those people to do something with him, then he didnt even do it.

                              trust me i dont like either candidate but i still think i'll stand behind whoever gets to run the place. i know im not right on everything, but at this point in time i would rather deal with bush and his stupid opinions on things like gay marriage rather than have the other guy yeild to outside pressure. at least he plans on sticking it out until they can fend for themsleves.
