If there's an apology necessary, perhaps someone should tell Obama they're sorry for jeopardizing the mission.

A few Counter Points
1) It cannot be won and hasn't been able to be won for a little while now. Victory by any reasonable definition other than political expediency ain't happening.
2) Pretty sure everyone in New York and their friends and family didn't want the people harbored in AFG to pay them a visit a little over ten years ago.
3) It sounds like it was poorly handled but I have little sympathy when the detainees / Taliban use their holy places, Qurans, and various religious goods to further their effort.
Apologize to Obama? Really?
