#2 This is the first experience for us. I said we have to evaluate what sorts of mistakes we have (made)

Here's a suggestion for Sheik Al Thani: Though it's often valuable to have a subject-matter expert along, it's not really a good idea to put a general with personal experience in directing massacres to be in charge of monitoring them.

#4 I can see there are mistakes, but we went there not to stop the killing, but to monitor.

So what did ya do? Watch? Keep score?
