[Shhhh! I'm Listening to Reason!]

The defense official said Wednesday that a military investigation
faulted some of the actions of American troops in air strikes May 4
that killed dozens of Afghan civilians in Farah province.

"Errors were made" in the attack, the official acknowledged on
condition of anonymity, discussing one of the preliminary findings on
an incident that has strained relations between Washington and Kabul
and bred deep resentment among the Afghan people. Civilian deaths in
Afghanistan have also enraged Muslims worldwide.

2pid will say "yes", that the tactic used is entirely circumstantial.

I say "no" and at least two incoming commanding general officers agree
with me.

Oh well, I'm sure 2pid's 'differing POV' is equally valid. LoL.
