Shrub's statements start with blame the victim, then segue into the weasely non-apology so common among the reich wing, then devolves further into a whiney "we are better by comparison!"

Bush, NATO chief regret Afghan deaths

CRAWFORD, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush pushed NATO allies Monday to share more of the burdens of battle in Afghanistan and deplored the deaths of Afghan civilians in alliance air strikes.

While lamenting the civilian deaths, Bush and visiting NATO chief Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, after talks at the president's Texas ranch, blamed the losses on Taliban tactics.

"We grieve with you," Bush told Afghans who lost loved ones. Scheffer called such casualties "unavoidable" but stressed that any civilian death is "one too many" and said there was a moral chasm between NATO and the Islamist militia.

"We don't behead people. We don't burn schools. We don't kill teachers. We don't plant roadside bombs," he said. "Look at the number of Afghanistan civilians killed by the Taliban and by our opposing forces."

Since the Taliban and "opposing forces" are selective in who they target, and we are not, they are worse than us? We don't behead people, burn schools, target teachers or plant roadside bombs, correct. We just carpet bomb weddings, raid villages and letting God (our God, not their fake one) sort things out, torture anyone we can get our hands on and get pissy when the people we are "liberating" don't appreciate our effort and expense.
