Mistakes in the 'War on(of?) Terror'

"We recognize any policy will sometimes result in errors, and when it happens, we will do everything we can to rectify it,"

ohh! ohh! Me first!

1) Iraq

On the subject of mistakes, this brings up the question 'Why?':

Ten U.S. Marines killed near the Iraqi city of Falluja last week had been at a promotion ceremony and were not on foot patrol as initially reported, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.

The Marines were in a disused flour mill on the outskirts of the city to celebrate the promotion of three soldiers, a military statement said.

Doesn't seem all that odd but that particular event has had a variety of different stories attached to it

Either someone's lazy or someone is sensitive (covering something up). Barking up the wrong tree? Maybe. But tell me this: Why would the US military hold a promotional ceremony in an abandoned flour mill in fucking Falluja? More to come...
