State Dept. apologizes to Khan family
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/201...an-family.html
My question is: Why? Any call the State Dept. made should have went like this: "Because of your families inability to properly raise your traitorous son as a citizen of this country, you need to apologize to the families of the servicemembers lost because of your son's actions. Due to your incompetence as parents, you need to apologize to the families of the Afghan people who died because of your son's propoganda. You also need to apologize to the American people for allowing your son to carry on the subversive activities he conducted before we had to waste taxpayer money to put him down like a rabid dog."

An apology is an admission of wrong doing. I can hear the lawyers lining up now....... The is truely outrageous. They should just strip his family of their citizenship and possessions and ship them home.

And I suppose they can't read
King says Khan "came on their radar" between 2007 and 2009, when he was seen meeting with two terror suspects on Long Island.
The congressman(Idiot) said those two suspects are still being watched.

To the individuals that fired that missile:
Thank you for all you do.
And if you're ever in the Phoenix area I'd like to buy you a beer.

Next thing you know they will be apologizing to Adolf Hitler's family because U.S. and Allied Forces having entered Germany caused him to freak out and commit suicide.
When will this BS end???
Oh yeah! Hopefully at the end of the next election.
January 21st, 2013 cannot come soon enough.

Gentlemen, what's happening to your government? That apology nonsense is just insane.
Following that stream of thought, shouldn't state dept start calling jeffrey dahmer's familiy? Or Charles Manson's? I mean, weren't they US citizen's too? What about Al capone? Ok, he had Italian origins, but he still was American. You know what? For al capone a call to Mr. Berlusconi (unfortunately our prime minister) might be in order.
Has politically correct corrupted your state officials to that point?
Seriously, I cannot believe it.
Sorry for this rant, sometimes I have a hard time being politically correct... ( )

Meh...sometimes we do things like that...because...like apologizing to China for an ' errant' missile striking their embassy in Belgrade. "Ooopppsss!" 
And so it goes...

Mistakes do happen Sir. Who's to say missiles always hit their intended targets instead of going bonkers and striking random stuff?
But I still think that apology was crazy.
