I think what you are referring to are the restrictions that General McWhorter put in place to try and reduce civilian casualties. Not really a proponent one way or the other unless I am the guy on the ground calling in that fire to save my a** and then I am all about unrestricted use of close air support.

On another note, could go on for paragraphs about Afghanistan, but I think Obama is learning that it is easy when you are campaigning to say one thing, but actually trying to execute it is another.

McCrystal didn’t put those restrictions in place. The restrictions came straight from the WH.
