I have not said that. How did you reach this conclusion from my statement?
If I say - US invaded Iraq - that means the President and his advisers took a decision to invade Iraq.
If I say - the US stagged a covert operation inside another country - I still mean that it was a government decision to stage a covert operation
as happened in case of Bin Laden.
Can you tell me in simple words what this is all about? All newspapers use the term "the US". Why are you ignoring the context?
