Tancredo won’t apologise
Congressman Thomas G Tancredo who proposed bombing Mecca to counter “Islamic terrorism,” has refused to retract his words or to apologise. Facing mounting criticism, Tancredo, while refusing to apologise said, “It’s a tough issue to deal with. Tough things are said. And we should not shy away from saying things that need to be said.” According to some, the Republican member from Colorado is a possible presidential candidate in 2008. A spokeswoman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has called Tancredo’s remarks “irresponsible.” She said, “They do nothing to advance our national security and protect Americans from terrorists.”
Good man, Tom. Don't let the bastards bully you into it. It needed to be said, and it needs to be policy.
