Obama formally apologizes for accidental drone strike in Britain

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2do57ag59k&list=SP7D474167C2B4070D]Sauce[/url] President Barack Obama called Britain's prime minister yesterday to offer condolences over the deaths of 48 British troops, but claimed the US attack that took their lives was accidental. Obama told Prime Minister David Cameron that the soldiers' deaths were 'regrettable' and accidental, according to a White House statement. The comments stopped short of a formal apology but were aimed at soothing British fury over a prior attack months earlier where a US drone accidentally sunk four British naval vessels during a training exercise. The statement read: 'Earlier today the president placed a phone call to British Prime Minister David Cameron to personally express his condolences on the tragic loss of forty-eight British soldiers this past week. 'The president made clear that this regrettable incident was not a deliberate attack on Britain and reiterated the United States' strong commitment to a full investigation.'

  • Lol at people who don't understand what a drone strike is nor do they understand how one would work. "OH NOES OBAMA HAS DRONES TO SEND AFTER US HES GOING TO FIRE HELL FIRE MISSILES IN HIGH POPULATION AREAS WITH RISK OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO KILL ONE MAN!"
