Exit wounds - "It was a mistake."

Journal by fustakrakich

Oops!

But "He said he is 'fully responsible for this strike and the tragic outcome.'"

"We apologize, and we will endeavor to learn from this horrible mistake," another guy said. I'm sure they will.. uh huh

But hey! "at least one of those people that were killed was an ISIS facilitator.". Not even, eh?

The 10 dead were all members of the same extended family, relatives told NBC News, and included the seven children. Some were as young as 2 and 3.

Milley said "Trump is nuts", no wait, I'm sorry, that's a misquote, what he really said was, "... at this point, we think the procedures were correctly followed, and it was a righteous strike." (from "over the horizon")

Way to go, guys!

And the press! There's speculation the story was delayed/ignored for some time...

EDIT:
Hmm, The Silence of the Dems is so deafening! *Can't Touch This!*

EDIT 2:
AOC - democrat socialist? Hardly! democrat socialite..

    The origin of the term "Third World" doesn't come from rankings, but instead a reference to Third Person.

    One can see that's broken merely by looking at your definitions of First and Second World. What's the first and second person viewpoint analogues that would allow both Russia and China to be Second World, but the US and Japan to be First World?

    Second World - your world. Technically, second world countries are my peers who I speak to, but are not me. The term's not really used at all these days.

    What's missing from that tale is that these were divided by ideology not some rhetorical point of view. And communism, the ideology of the Second World failed badly, almost Nazi-level badly. That's why "Second World" is gone without a trace.
