Finally, after literally months of brushing off the strike on the school in Minab as being "under investigation", the truth is out.

US senior military ignored warnings that their targetting database was obsolete and went ahead with the strike anyway.

You can read the full story here

Also, note that all this talk of "it's still being investigated" is just more bullshit.

"US military officials “knew within days (of the strike on the school) how the mistake happened,” one of the sources said. “It was obviously old info.”

Anyway, now that we finally know that this was a blunder (caused to a large extent by Hegsuck slashing the budget for what's called the "Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response program which he reduced to a single full time staffer), where's the apology?

‘sources say’….nothing new here. And do stop lying……you say ‘ caused to a large extent by Heckseth slashing the budget’. The CNN article which even the NY Times isn’t following said this’

Another factor that increased the risk of a mistake, according to two sources familiar with the decision-making process, was that Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response teams at CENTCOM and other combatant commands were already short-staffed due to Hegseth’s decision to cut the program earlier in his tenure.

‘Another factor’ vs ‘caused to a large extent’. Curb your bias,

Speaking about the Nato summit, he says “something has been determined, and some haven’t frankly”. God knows what that means.

He briefly turns to Iran, he says they are “very dangerous” and “sick” for “shooting rockets at ships, and so we hit them very hard last night”.

He says the Iranians are “dirty players” who “go after everyone, probably including me”, as he calls them “scum”.

“They are evil people,” he says.

Speaking at the Nato summit, Trump says the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Iran is “over” because “I do not want to deal with them any more, they are scum”.

They are sick people, they are vicious, violent people.”

He then adds:

As far as I am concerned, it’s just a waste of time dealing with them. They are liars. … There is something wrong with them. They are cuckoo. As far as I am concerned, it is over.”

The Iranian foreign ministry said earlier that US attacks on Iran, plus other “violations” of the MoU, have rendered it “ineffective” (see post at 8:10).

Lol, the ships they attacked had nothing to do with it.

Where's the apology, Trumpanzees?

More to the point, do you think Bozo and Hegsuck owe them an apology for killing all those schoolgirls?

You keep getting your facts wrong and saying ‘schoolgirls’, here’s the breakdown of the those who died in this sad event.

The specific breakdown of the casualties includes:120 schoolchildren, 73 boys and 47 girls, 26 teachers and 4 parents. You keep referring to ‘girls’ only.

There is no formal report yet. So wait or even better, don’t use something so sad to score Board points

Scoring board points? Is that what you call it when someone criticises your hero who kills schoolchildren and can't even bring himself to apologise for it?

It was initially reported as a girls school. The fact that there were also boys makes it no less horrendous.

Now put your big-boy pants on and try answer the simple question . . . do you think an apology should be made or don't you?

Crickets.

There is not a Trumpanzee among us who is prepared to admit that the careless and unnecessary killing of hundreds of schoolchildren warrants any kind of apology.

I'm not sure what's more disgusting . . . Bozo, or the brainwashed knuckle-draggers who still support him.
