Subject: Some Apology!It appears, or so I have been informed by a kind reader, that Lt. Gen. Pitman was not the actual author of "Some Apology," and that a Dr. Mike S. Adams from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington penned the original copy. My apologies and congratulations to Dr. Adams. Apologies also for any inconvenience to my readers.

For good and ill, the Iraqi prisoner abuse mess will remain
an issue. On the one hand, right thinking Americans will
abhor 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 Yasser 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 U. S. A. 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 liberal masses do not understand any of this
(from the misleading vocal elements of our society like
radical liberal professors, CNN and 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 non-combatant
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 be headings
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. I am sorry that
Barack Hussein Obama was elected president of the United
States when he doesn't have a clue on how to be a strong
Commander-in-chief in a world filled with Muslim extremists
who will do whatever it needs to do to destroy the lives of
civilized people while killing innocent men, women and
children in order to bring a change that is beneficial to all
Islamic terrorists worldwide.
I am sorry that voters on the liberal left don't understand
the frightening changes that are taking place in the Muslim
world and what these changes will do to this world in which
we live.
I am sorry that the Democratic Party has been high jacked by
Socialists and Communists right under the very noses of those
who take pride in calling themselves democrats.
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.
Signed, Chuck Pitman
Lieutenant General, USMC
