Pakistan finally came out of the dilemma with pride, The US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called Pakistan's foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar and told her that the U.S. is sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military.
As per news, Hilary held a telephonic conversation with Pakistani Foreign Minister and apologized for the Salala Attack mistake
"I offered our sincere condolences to the families of the Pakistani soldiers who lost their lives," Mrs Clinton said.
"Foreign Minister Khar and I acknowledged the mistakes that resulted in the loss of Pakistani military lives.
"We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military. We are committed to working closely with Pakistan and Afghanistan to prevent this from ever happening again"
It is not about words, it is not about that we have scored some cheap points or this have comforted our ego that US have apologized to us.
No, it was about Principles and it is great that we stood firm by our principles even in strongest of international pressure.
The US, on numerous occasions expressed regret over the incident, but did not offer a clear apology as demanded by Pakistan. ISAF Commander General Allen had also offered a personal apology to Pakistan army chief.
