I never had a doubt.
Obama - “We’re air-raiding villages and killing civilians”
Obama said he would change the ROEs in the first week after he became president.
This is verbatim from a private email. Author’s name is withheld, for obvious reasons. I think it makes a lot of sense. Team O is a bunch of childish, unrealistic theorists who don’t mind ‘experimenting’ with cultural infrastructure let alone military personnel. For shame.
“Obama said he would change the ROEs in the first week after he became president.”
He did???? Did he specify?
Maybe that’s a dumb question. Does he ever specify?
Like anyone at FR didn’t know that already.
Good..........they played Obama and won. Never underestimate the Cadets from any of our military academeys. They planned it and pulled it off. Commander in Chief? In his dreams!
What what what? I can't imagine a living Marine accepting this medal under any circumstances. What the hell is going on here?
This article was printed in several publications. Here is onehttp://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/2544475/posts
>> Stanley McChrystal is a true warrior
Good that the RoE issue is being discussed, but a love letter is not the best format.
He wasn’t specific, and his intent to change the ROEs was under reported in the press.
And all of a sudden Petraeus has the luxury of changing the ROE as if it was McCrystal's rules. Why didn't Petraeus change the ROE a year ago?
This was printed elsewhere? Didn’t know that. Sorry. But maybe this printing will expand the readership, hey?
How about Salamander in Chief. They change their colors, too.
As a father of a soldier serving with special forces in Afghanistan, here is what I think. If McCrystall really has a problem with the ROE, if they really were not his rules (he has been quoted several times in various publications saying they were necessary), if he really thinks Obama is dangerous to his men, if he really loves his troops, if he is really a patriot, if he is really a man he would just go the cameras and warn the American people by speaking clearly instead of this charade with a liberal rag. Sorry but a man with all the intelligence, conviction, and love for his men that you all say he has would just stand up and say this is wrong, his career be damned. Our sons lives are shown to be nothing but cheap resources while the General plays his game.
What, indeed, is going on with Obama ... Makes me want to read that new book, Manchurian President.
Mind clueing us in on what that site is? You tell me, and I’ll tell you if I trust it, or not. Shgeeeeeze.
“Like anyone at FR didn’t know that already”
Unlike some people, I have a life beyond FR. But maybe some people read ALL postings, EVERY comment, EVERY day. Poor things.
I, however, remain grateful that occasionally I read something that someone has the bad manners to point out was written here, before. Humph.
Hahahaha, HAH! I suspected both points! Thanks for the info.
