White House will not publicly apologise for Afghan war mistakes

But separate communique to bilateral security agreement may contain 'reassurance' that US troops mistakenly killed Afghan civilians

Wednesday 20 November 2013 15.06 EST
As it nears an accord that will keep a residual US troop force in Afghanistan for years to come, the Obama administration is publicly adamant that it will not apologize to Afghans for mistakes it has made in its longest war.
But it is possible that a communique separate from the text of the so-called bilateral security agreement may contain a “reassurance” that US troops have mistakenly killed Afghan civilians during a war that just entered its 13th year.
Jen Psaki, the chief State Department spokeswoman, tied addressing civilian casualties together with reassuring an Afghan assembly, set to begin Thursday in Afghanistan, that the US is committed to Afghanistan’s security.
“The secretary offered the idea of providing the same reassurances about our security relationship and addressing past issues, such as civilian casualties, which we’ve talked about many times in the past, in some format,” Psaki said Wednesday.
“Nobody asked for an apology,” Psaki said, saying that reports of an Afghan demand for a show of US contrition was “perhaps a game of telephone.”
The Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, spoke with Secretary of State John Kerry, his principal interlocutor on the accord, over the phone for the second time in as many days. In his prior phone call, Kerry acknowledged “mistakes” made by US forces over the twelve years of war.
On Tuesday, Susan Rice, President Obama’s national security adviser, said bluntly that an apology was “not on the table.”
“Quite the contrary, we have sacrificed and supported them in their democratic progress and in tackling the insurgents and al Qaeda,” Rice told CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/19/world/asia/us-afghanistan-talks/).
The question of an apology comes amid a precarious time for the US-Afghan security relationship. The US has signaled an end to active, unilateral combat in Afghanistan for years, a process that will culminate in December 2014 with the departure of most US troops – but there is little prospect of a peace deal with the Taliban before then.
