BAGHDAD — President Bush has apologized to Iraq's prime minister for an American sniper's shooting of a Quran, and the Iraqi government called on U.S. military commanders to educate their soldiers to respect local religious beliefs.Actually, Gingrich wasn't outraged and Republicans hardly gave George W. Bush's apology a minute of their time.
Bush's spokeswoman said Tuesday that the president apologized during a videoconference Monday with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who told the president that the shooting of Islam's holy book had disappointed and angered both the Iraqi people and their leaders.
"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."
Leave it to Obama Derangement Syndrome and election year politics for Republicans to make something out of anything that Obama does.They're not even trying to disguise it any more.

As far as I'm concerned, most everyone has gone crazy around politics. I won't listen long to either side. I hate the whiny "he said, she said" crap and wish we could somehow get to sensible, well-reasoned discussion. I know, I'm dreaming.
