When Bush Apologized to Muslims...Actually Apologized, used those words..HIMSELF. Not some tortured bullshit about how "Obama" apologized for "American Values" when a embassy official condemned hate speech (apparently the only American Value that the right-wing actually values, especially when it's aimed toward Muslims, Gay, Unions, women, dark-skinned peoples, etc)
In 2008, a U.S. sniper shot a Quran in Iraq, causing an uproar. President Bush expressly apologized. “He apologized for that in the sense that he said that we take it very seriously,” White House press secretary Dana Perino said. “We are concerned about the reaction. We wanted them to know that the president knew that this was wrong.” The sniper was disciplined and the upper echelons of the military put out numerous statements trying to soothe tensions. Nobody accused Bush of “apologizing to al-Qaida.”
