Refer to the video on youtube where American UAV targeters cannot hit a mosque full of IED makers because of political correctness, but have to wait til the Taliban exit the mosque.

This is no way to win a war.

This is the War of White House Fools.

US forces should imitate the Somali moslems and attack suspected combatant personnel /IED/Weapons depots mosques.
