Apologies? Hog wash. Pure fiction.
He did not apologize for America's actions after 9/11.
He did not give sympathy, or look for excuses for the attacks on our soil, based on our previous policies before 9/11.

"We did not go by choice, we went because of necessity. I am aware that some question or justify the events of 9/11. But let us be clear: al-Qaida killed nearly 3,000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody. And yet al-Qaida chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale. They have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand their reach. These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts ... "

The man specifically raised 9/11 to justify America's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Which you boys have been screaming about for 8 years until it's said by a Democrat.
He went on to say Iraqis were better off without Saddam Hussein.
He described our presence in Iraq as being for the purpose of supplying Iraq and Iraqis with freedom.
He told them, in this Muslim capital, that bond between Israel and the United States is "unbreakable."
You really can't have it both ways kids. I mean, you can, but after a while you just look like your obsessed with disliking liberals and democrats, and any indication of progress or even the attempt thereof, in the Muslim world. You may not like Obama's policy's on a whole, but if you have a problem with what he is doing in the Middle East on this tour, and with what he said in that speech, you don't dislike his idea's, for they were perfectly acceptable to you 6 months ago. You dislike his political stripe. Too bad.
