I am deeply saddened by the reported killing and wounding of Afghan
civilians. I offer my condolences to the families and loved ones of those
who lost their lives, and to the people of Afghanistan, who have endured too
much violence and suffering. This incident is tragic and shocking, and does
not represent the exceptional character of our military and the respect that
the United States has for the people of Afghanistan. I fully support
Secretary Panetta’s and General Allen’s commitment to get the facts as
quickly as possible and to hold accountable anyone responsible.

Administration's commitment to establish the facts as quickly as possible
and to hold fully accountable anyone responsible. The President reaffirmed
our deep respect for the Afghan people and the bonds between our two
countries.
