Our BHO rules of engagement: Mirandize, surrender, and ask the UN to hold our rifles. Frankly, the military is smart enough not to injure civies if they can help it. After all, the Left would put them on trial. The rats!

“President Barack Obama’s concern about popularity polls on the war he’s conducting after campaigning on a peace platform...”

"In one mishap you can create thousands more terrorists than you had before the mishap."

A terrorist is one who will attack to "create terror". They target civilians and other weak targets. Women. Children. Hospitals.

If there is ANY sort of military engagement that can encourage them to kill innocents in their own nation, then they are already "Extremists".

I can't fathom any circumstance under which it would become defendable practice inside the borders of this country. No matter if the Soviets had conquored. Attacking a public school would not change that one bit.

The administration is giving credence to the concept of "terrorism". Moral equivalence and all that. They engage in war crimes. They deliberately target civilians. They are never denounced for their actions. We are told that we must "understand" their rage and "negotiate" with them.

They must end their supremist ideology. It can no more be tolerated than Nazism. They don't have to agree that Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and converts away from Islam aren't damned but they cannot kill them over it.

The administration is putting in place ROE that will result in defeat in Afghanistan. Can’t fire on houses that may contain civilians, can’t fire on enemy forces if civilians might be put at risk. Of course all Taliban forces will now hide behind their population or run to civilian houses after a strike. You have to wonder why they sent 30,000 more troops there and then tied their hands.

Not to all Mujahideen: When pursued by Americans, grab the nearest civilian and hide behind him/her.

BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!

There, I said it and I mean it. If we will not let them fight then I sure as hell don't want them there to die.
