1. I bet that dipshit "president"

regrets ever pulling that stunt on May 1 since it is now a staple of the soldier casualty counts.

My heart goes out to Spc. Colunga's family and friends.

2. Bush, regret??

Nah, he never regrets anything because he never makes mistakes. If there is a problem, it was somebody else's fault.
