All Iraqis presumed guilty

Leave it to the Pentagon to make us all feel safer with a backhanded apology to the family they just destroyed with a 500lb bomb.
Multinational Force Iraq "deeply regrets the loss of possibly innocent lives" and is investigating the incident, officials said.

Possibly innocent? How about possible loss of innocents? It's bad enough you can't flatten the right house, at least try learning English semantics so as not to further offend those you've just killed...

Just like that time a wedding party was blown apart

The military insisted that those killed were involved in smuggling foreign fighters into Iraq and that the houses attacked were way stations for militants. Residents said the rockets struck a wedding party.

After a video emerged showing the wedding in progress before the attack, Army Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, then chief military spokesman for U.S.-led forces in Iraq, said, "Bad people have parties too."

Oh, the sensitivity!
