No apology, no remorse. Blatant stubbornness.

why should they apologize when they say that Pakistan fired on them first.

**U.S. Concedes Error, but Says Pakistan Fired First at Border
**

In an early-morning statement on Thursday and later at a Pentagon briefing, the Defense Department said three separate American airstrikes over more than an hour around midnight on Nov. 26 were justified because Pakistani soldiers opened fire on a joint team of Afghan and American Special Operations forces operating along the often poorly demarcated frontier between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

“U.S. forces, given what information they had available to them at the time, acted in self-defense and with appropriate force after being fired upon,” George Little, a Department of Defense spokesman, told reporters in Washington. The American inquiry “also found that there was no intentional effort to target persons or places known to be part of the Pakistani military.”

The response from ISPR:

RAWALPINDI:** Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) has rejected the findings of a US-NATO investigation into Mohmand Agency massacre of 26 Pakistani troops deployed on a border outpost, Geo News reported.****

Terming the report as biased as well as lacking in key facts, a statement issued here said it had holes in it, which need to be filled in.

A formal reply would be launched after ISPR would receive the details of it, the statement added. **
