I had the pleasure of visiting Freemantle, Perth, and a little of the surrounding area thanks to the U.S. Navy. Had the time of my life and felt love and respect from EVERYONE I met there. One of my fondest memories was in a little pub with 5 or 6 locals. A little old lady of maybe 70 drank beer and BS'ed with me for a couple hours. I hope to get back there some day. I just want to apologize for our Presidents behavior to your Prime Minister today. Please know we are not all like that.

I'm sure you do. Now it's bad form to apologize ? |

Are you refering to this supposed deal. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/02/02/trump-reportedly-accuses-australian-pm-seeking-to-export-next-boston-bombers.htmlIf in fact it is true, and there are a lot of made up stories going around right now, it would seem Trump is looking out for us. The Aussies did not want them for some reason, but by golly we will take that chance. In fact something was leaked that just came out that Trump threatened to send troops to Mexico and their Pres. had to say it was not true. After all the Wash. Post put out the story and they are always spot on. There is going to be myriads of false stories coming out for all the obvious reasons and one had better be careful at what they may think is true. I would love to go to Australia some day. I had the pleasure of engaging Rob Laver a number of times back in the 90s and quite a few others from there also, as they would winter a bit in Palm Springs. In my opinion just some really good folks. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/02/02/mexico-denies-report-that-trump-threatened-to-send-in-troops-to-stop-bad-hombres.htmlAt first glance there seem to be anonymous people pretending they know what is taking place and leaking it to sources they know will run with it, again for all the obvious reasons. |

It wouldn't surprise me if someone in the WH is intentionally leaking these stories to bolster trump's assertion that it's all 'fake' news. this is right up Bannon's alley, so to speak.

How about a post apologizing for the pos we had and selling us out since being a big fan and supporter. Also if you feeling like apologizing for the US president why don't you go to there and live since you dont seem to disrespect the current president. I can stomach alot of things but lack of respect and sticking up for the US even as a previous member of the military is not something I want to. It is so refreshing to actually have someone who tells us the truth and can make a good deal.

Are these the ones the Ausies threw out of their country and currently have in internment camps on a deserted island and now Trump questioning why Obama agreed to take them and we are now the bad guys. or was that fake news too?  |

I hope the admin pulls this post since it serves no purpose but to incite.

Personally, I have to agree. Appears to be simply an opportunity to incite a discussion about an unproven assertion. I'm trying to sift through the news to discover what really might be real. At times, it's difficult to know. I personally find this tidbit of "news" questionable. |

If it is taken as devisive I have no problem with the post being pulled. |

If it is taken as devisive I have no problem with the post being pulled. An apology for something you assume to be true? If, this is proven to have actually occurred, then an apology may have been appropriate. (Depending on one's perspective and what actually occurred) Without knowing it actually happened and with all the known "fake" news, this stands out as a BS thread. Sorry but, that's the way I see it. Wouldn't matter if, it was about Hilary's supposed re-emergence into the public limelight. There's too much fake crap out there to be apologizing for something to another country and based on what I've seen, no one from Australia is even complaining on the board. So, even bringing it up is questionable. |

I know not of all the factual details. But it is apparent there were leaks from someone last night in the Whitehouse. If the leaks were some subterfuge to confuse the media and the public we have even bigger problems. Since when was it necessary for someone to complain before an apology was issued ? In my personal life I hate being wrong and having to apologize. But most of them were issued not because my wife complained, cried, or screamed. But because deep down I knew I was wrong.
Willow, please pull this thread. I'm sorry it turned to this.

An old trucker when I wuz younger told me something I've tried to hang on to. Believe 10% of what you hear and 75% of what you see. When a "news" event won't name sources or these days even if they do name sources my own personal B S Meter pegs. RIDE SAFE.
