There are some things you do not do and the first one is give yourself up for any reason as you are absolute in all that there is.
One of them is that you do not admit to making mistakes.
A statement issued by the Department of Defense did not apologize for the attack.
Another is that if possible you use another name for your Empire when convienient -
An investigation into a NATO attack that killed 24 Pakistani troops last month
Then you investigate yourself whenever you are able to then blame others and other things -
a combination of mistrust and bad maps led to the airstrikes on two Pakistani outposts, the Defense Department and a NATO official said Thursday.

It was Google Maps' fault!
ReplyDeleteLucky there's not more mistrust to cause such things more frequently.
ReplyDeleteSounds good Fearguth and hi Jules. I have a feeling the rednecks serving over there do not like the Pakky's even a little bit. They are ruthless and always been that way at least that's my impression. It's better to have them on your side but it's hard to do when you kill them and tell them it's their fault.
ReplyDeleteAdults apologize. You fuck up and admit it, you apologize.
ReplyDeleteThe USA never apologizes. It's part of the American exceptionalism the rightwing cherishes more than full jail cells at GITMO.
Nuttiness like this was always appropriately handled by Alexander Haig. He would make an even nuttier explanation and we'd spend our time trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about rather than focus on why somebody was bombed because of a "misunderstanding."
ReplyDeleteOr Alan Greenspan about anything having to do with what they were going to do to US economically.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, the world.
