say we're sorry about the civilian casualties

Recall the Iran strike call-off?

"I said, I want to know something before you go," Trump recalled. "How many people will be killed — in this case, Iranians. I said, how many people are going to be killed?"

His military team said it would find out, Trump told Todd, and came back with the answer that approximately 150 people would very likely die.

The president said:

"I thought about it for a second and I said, you know what, they shot down an unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it, and here we are sitting with 150 dead people, that would have taken place probably within a half an hour after I said go ahead.

"And I didn't like it. I didn't think — I didn't think it was proportionate."

I don't think it's in Trump's character to "say sorry for civilian deaths", but this passage also speaks volumes about his level-headedness to proportionately respond to attacks. And cartels are an insidious threat attacking daily.

(This comment shall not be construed as a judgment whether throwing MOABs at cartel-run cities is proportionate.)
