It's so rare to watch things from the beginning, so I'm enjoying my post observing one of the latest crazy conservative canards flying around the internet. I stumbled upon a conservative post referencing an alleged newspaper article claiming Obama was going to apologize for the "war crime" of bombing Dresden. Thinking no newspaper could possibly be that stupid I followed the link and came to another blog post. It was yet another conservative blogger referencing a very important article in the Deutsche Welle, a German paper:

Perhaps the most controversial is a planned speech in which President Obama will formally apologize for American 'war crimes' during the Second World War. This would be particularly comforting to Europeans, who have long condemned American foreign policy actions, especially regarding civilians.
