– George Bush, Newsweek, August 15, 1989 (Commenting on the shooting down of an Iranian airliner by the U.S. warship Vincennes, killing 290 civilian passengers.)
To be clearer - that statement was made by the first President Bush. And taken in context it's easy to understand why he wouldn't apologize for what he felt was an accident.

Since when does one not apologize for accidents?

Apologies show weakness period. We should never apologize, but seeing how the pressure to be PC is coming to play, he had to do it...

It's too bad that their blindness can't see they are killing more soldiers than President Bush ever has... Protest Loud and Proud! Your fellow taliban and insurgents are rejoicing at the support...
