Well, it's just a bunch of terrorists, after all. We can sight those now, and our really super-duper smart bombs are designed to kill only terrorists and the occasional militant. No worries. Anyone claiming otherwise - we got this covered too - is probably just a militant or someone scared into lying by a militant.

Trust your leaders where mistakes are almost never made.
