".....The [Washington] Times compiled an informal list of the new rules from interviews with U.S. forces. Among them:

• No night or surprise searches.

• Villagers have to be warned prior to searches.

• ANA or ANP must accompany U.S. units on searches.

• U.S. soldiers may not fire at the enemy unless the enemy is preparing to fire first.

• U.S. forces cannot engage the enemy if civilians are present.

• Only women can search women.

• Troops can fire at an insurgent if they catch him placing an IED but not if insurgents are walking away from an area where explosives have been laid....

'Snipers Are Saviors': Chris Kyle's Brother Fires Back at Michael Moore " The brother of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle was on “Hannity” tonight, where he responded to Michael Moore’s remark that snipers are cowards.

“Just because somebody was killed by a sniper, it doesn’t make snipers cowards. Snipers are – they’re saviors,” Jeff Kyle said, adding that those who have served overseas have been “damn proud” to have snipers on watch."

Any soldier who shoots at the armed pro Muslim indigenous population will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.Any soldier who manages to kill a member of the cultural opposition will be charged with murder. American soldiers will express their submission to Islamic culture and be subservient to the superior Islamic culture or will be tried under various charges under UCMJ.
The strategy in Afghanistan is to show that America is now a paper tiger weak and paralyzed until we leave with our tail between our legs.

The Rules of Engagement with the enemy that have been passed down by the Obama Chicken Sh*ts, should be more appropriately called the Rules for DISengagement or translated, "How to get your butt shot and killed by our enemies so you won't hurt their feelings."

For Christ's sake, the man can't even say the words islamic terrorists. How can we expect him to allow our troops to engage and destroy them? After all, the muslim terrorists are his brothers in evil.
