Abe apologizes, to U.S. Congressmen and Bush

Japanese Prime Minster Shinzo Abe had a busy day at Washington DC. He visited U.S. Capital and held talks with Congress leaders, to whom he offered apology regarding the Comfort women issue. And again, at today's joint press briefing held at Camp David, when being asked by a Japanese reporter about his attitude, Abe again said he apologized when meeting the congressional representatives yesterday.

Where's the problem any more? Abe has offered his repetitive apologizes to both U.S. congressmen and congresswomen, to president Bush.

Having said that, to me, there seems to be missing something, in his answer, he didn't mention Kono Statement, at all, in contrast, Mr. Bush actually said he expected to move forward based on the famous Kono Statment, in which Japanese government acknowledged its responsibility for forcing women from Korea, Taiwan and other countries to serve as a army prostitutes.

Last but not least, Abe offered rounds of apologies to VIPs in Washington DC, Did he offer apologize to the Comfort women themselves?
