>>If Huckabee was manipulating the press (to whatever degree) I don’t think conservative voters feel too bad for the press.

I think we kind of think, “score one point for us.”<<

I don't know... His reaction to Bhutto's death actually caused me pain to watch. And now this was pretty transparently dishonest. Maybe it won't effect the caucus in terms of his core support but I would the odds of him getting a big share of the undecideds went down.

It would seem that "apologize" was kind of a Freudian slip; he says he mean sympathize.

However, as John Bolton points out, perhaps we do have something to apologize for, in part. Rushing things, a bit, in a nation not ours? Trusting Musharaff a bit too much, too?

Here's another point.

At this point, we should be apologizing to Israel's people, for pressuring them into giving up territory for empty promises.

Unlike Bush and Fred Thompson, Huckabee says that while it would be nice for "Palestinians" to have their own state, that state should be outside of Israel. Big points to Huckabee's foreign policy there, in my book.
