There is something extremely offensive about using the word “regrettable” after killing over one million innocent civilians in illegal, invasive, acquisitive wars. That word accepts no responsibility nor does it offer any consolation to innocent victims!

eh!

America’s imperial misadventures have earned it the title of world’s leading terrorist State – the civilian death toll remains the most accurate measure of terrorist activity – so it is quite in character for a known MURDERING State to offer the WORLD a word that accepts no blame, responsibility or remorse FOR ITS HEINOUS ACTIONS!

However, it is never too late to pursue justice and it is heartening that Europe is on the offensive in that regard – Spain is the first nation to legally pursue America for war crimes and torture offences.

The world is faced with a callous psychopathic nation bent on using brutality to obtain what other nations obtain via trade and normal business relations. The solution to the world’s dilemma is also clear – the offending pariah must be brought to trial and if it resists it must be razed to the ground – world leaders are painfully aware it has come to that! The reprobate shows no indication of altering course or changing its murdering ways, in fact due to inaction from the international community, the USA has actually increased its scope and criminal activities.

We recall hubby Bill Clinton using the exact same word accompanied by an arrogant smirk, in a previous criminal war in the Balkans. U.S. forces targeted and murdered Chinese civilian consular staff and targeted a civilian television station in Belgrade, the prelude and blueprint for the killing fields of Iraq.

The recent civilian holocaust in Iraq – over one million innocent men, women and children slaughtered for the sake of plundering another nations oil resource – has not even elicited the word regrettable from the US administration. America remains in denial over the death and destruction it has caused in Iraq – it seems no price is too high for OTHERS to pay for the American lifestyle!

Regardless of the view America takes, killing civilians and TORTURE remain the most heinous crimes known to humanity. It seems the pariah may soon find itself in a truly regrettable legal situation. Only the most spineless leaders and lackey nations continue to support America in its criminal pursuits!

US deeply regrets civilian deaths in Afghanistan: Hillary Clinton
Agence France-Presse

THE United States deeply regrets the deaths of civilians in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said after reports that US-led air strikes against insurgents had killed 100 people.

"I wish to express my personal regret and certainly the sympathy of our administration on the loss of civilian life in Afghanistan," Mrs Clinton told a joint meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari.

"We deeply regret it. We don't know all of the circumstances or causes. And there will be a joint investigation by your government and ours," she said.

"But any loss of life, any loss of innocent life, is particularly painful," the chief US diplomat said.

"And I want to convey to the people of both Afghanistan and Pakistan that ... we will work very hard with your governments and with your leaders to avoid the loss of innocent civilian life.

"And we deeply, deeply regret that loss."

Police in Afghanistan said that US-led air strikes yesterday against insurgents had killed 100 people, including civilians, in one of the deadliest attacks in nearly eight years.
