* BlatantLies: Adar, along with a lot of the top-tier Colonial leadership, ''LOVES'' this trope. Sometimes it even dips into blatant InsaneTrollLogic territory. One (out of many) notable instances is Adar's answer to a press conference question, where he states that the Tau'ri ships "fired first...without provocation"--while stating in that same answer that the 200-ship Colonial [[MeaningfulName Crusade Fleet]] jumped within lunar orbit of Earth and declared their intent to conquer it before any shots were fired, and that the Crusade Fleet heard and intentionally ignored repeated warnings that they were violating Earth space and had 20 seconds to reverse course or be fired upon. [[SarcasmMode None of that, of course, counts as provocation in any way whatsoever.]]

* CurbstompCushion: While the Colonials were driven from Earth in the initial battle, a lot of the next few chapters involve members of Earth's governments talking about how ''badly'' their position is now -- the ships currently in orbit are low on ammo, the planet is suffering from the loss of many people due to the nukes, they've lost a ship and many of their fighters (which is significant since they only ''had'' six ships total, and the destroyed ship wasn't even complete, so they aren't getting new ships for a little while), several ships have damage that needs to be fixed but can't due to shortages of parts, and for the most part their weapons were ineffective (remember, most of the nuclear warheads used by Earth were destroyed before they could reach their targets, and the railguns aren't of sufficient caliber to do serious damage to enemy ships (which, not having energy shields, have extremely heavy, layered armor for defense)). The reason why Earth attacked Picon so soon after their own losses was in a desperate attempt to prevent the Colonials from attacking again by making them focus on defense and rebuilding their ''own'' forces. Several Earth leaders even state flat out that in the aftermath of the first attack, if the Colonials attacked again, they probably couldn't hold out.
