Last night, we parsed Bush's prose and said No. Today, WaPo agrees.

Typically, when you apologize, you apologize to the people who have been harmed. But instead, Bush here is not apologizing directly to the Iraqis, he is reporting that he apologized to a third party.

Does that meet the schoolyard test? If your little boy came home and said that after he kicked Tommy he apologized to Jimmy, would you be satisfied?

SCLM gives Bush a pass yet again.... The headlines say He apologized. He didn't.

I'd call it a total failure of leadership.
