Boehner refuses to apologize for faulting generals
By Rick Maze

In the wake of Sen. John Kerry’s belated apology for offending troops deployed in Iraq, House Majority Leader Rep. John Boehner of Ohio is being asked by Democrats to apologize for seemingly blaming senior military officers for any problems with the Bush administration’s Iraq strategy.
Boehner, however, does not appear to be budging.
“Good try,” he said when asked about demands for an apology.
In a Wednesday appearance on CNN, Boehner was asked for his view on Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the U.S. policy in Iraq.
“There are a lot of people who want to blame what’s happening in Iraq on Donald Rumsfeld, but when you look at the transformation that our military has been through, it’s nothing short of remarkable,” Boehner said. “The fact is, the generals on the ground are in charge.”
Boehner acknowledged that “there have been mistakes along the way,” but did not blame Rumsfeld.
“We’re fighting an enemy that’s unconventional, and this has become the central front in our war with al-Qaida,” Boehner said. “Al-Qaida continues to bring people into Iraq to let off these bombs, to stir up sectarian violence and we’re always having to adapt on the ground.”
Rumsfeld, Boehner said, has been pushing the military to transform, but the uniformed military leaders have resisted.
