I'm thinking we should change the rules of engagement. Terrorists don't play by these rules.
We seem to be acting like the British in the rev war - we seem to have to march only in a straight line with drums playing and being targets.
Bush says we are suppose to fight these guys but the lawyers won't let us fight.
I'm not thrilled with leaks but I'm even less thrilled with the PC warfare crap.

Suicide blast at Afghan governor's funeral (Australian Broadcasting Corporation - Last Updated 12/09/2006)
At least six people have been killed in a suicide attack at the funeral service of an assassinated Afghan governor.
Here's an interesting essay from American Digest:
"RULES? IN A KNIFE FIGHT?": Redrafting the Rules of Engagement in the First Terrorist War"
Harvey Logan: Rules? In a knife fight? No rules.
[Butch immediately kicks Harvey in the groin]
Butch Cassidy: Well, if there aint' going to be any rules, let's get the fight started.

"You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight.
I'ma get medieval on your ass."

By rote and by ritual most Americans [claim] to assert that they "Support our troops." But as we all know, yet seldom admit, America has more of the known reserves of the world's bullshit than the Saudis have oil. The truth of the matter is that far too many Americans are becoming far too interested in our troops behaving correctly than actually supporting and sustaining them. They blather support out of one orifice while spewing disdain from the other. We hear these clapped-out flatulators daily at work, on the street, and over the tube of the boobs. I don't know about you, but for me these hyperventilating hypocrites are beginning to gripe my hindquarters big time...
