We pray for the safety of our troops, and for the courageous families of our fallen heros.

This - more than his socialist, anti-American policies - is going to be Obozo's Waterloo: Americans won't stand for the needless slaughter of our troops while the Obozo dithers around campaigning and salsa dancing and playing golf instead of doing his JOB.

FLASHBACK: Obama’s first ‘New’ Strategy:

March 27, 2009 at 10:32 AM EDT
“Good morning,” began the President today. “Today, I am announcing a comprehensive, new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan. And this marks the conclusion of a careful policy review, led by Bruce [Reidel], that I ordered as soon as I took office.”

Obama’s new rules for engagement for His 1st New strategy:

#1 “buzzing rather than bombing the enemy”
“The first thing we do is fly over head, and the bad guys know airpower is in place and oftentimes that’s enough. That ends the fight, they vamoose,” said Hostage, who will direct the air battle over Iraq and Afghanistan. “The A-10 has a very distinct sound. The cannon on an A-10 is horrifically capable and our adversaries know it. When they hear the sound of an A-10, they scatter.”

Hostage says the Air Force can easily drop bombs with pinpoint accuracy. But in some cases, it may be better to fly over enemy forces with noisy warplanes to get them to disperse first, then try more force if that doesn’t work.

KABUL - The top U.S. general in Afghanistan will soon formally order U.S. and NATO forces to break away from fights with militants hiding in Afghan houses so the battles do not kill civilians, a U.S. official said Monday.
