“Indirect fire”.... what does that mean? I know someone who was recently killed in Afganistan by “indirect fire” — seemed pretty direct to me.... Does this protect Hussein’s terrorist buddies so that we’re not allowed to fire back?

What? No, "indirect fire" has always been what they call artillery or mortar fire since the weapon isn't actually directly facing it's target (like a rifle). Sometimes things aren't an Obama conspiracy.

Nope, sorry, that term has only been bandied about “lately” as in the past couple of years.
