The rest of the world doesn’t play with silly ROE like the Americans.
They play to win.

Here it comes.
The Saudis would be well advised to tell the Obama administration that since one of his goals as president is to reduce US influence around the world, now would be a good time to start.

An administration without the fortitude or conviction for the cost and prosecution of war. Totally embarrassing and disgusting.

We should not be advising the Saudis on any of this.
Let them do the deeds and get the blame.

That's why they call it WAR!!!
Yes, we played nice, allowing our enemies to determine where and when we could "attach combatants," while they hit innocents left and right.
When you go to war, you must go to war to win, not to come to a draw.

I truly believe that, in some perverted way, Obama considers the Iranians his ally.

Well, they are only the “Lesser Shiite Muslims” which are less than Jews, Christians or dogs .... at this point, what difference does it make?

It’s called war! You wage war to win, you don’t pamper your enemies.
Yes civilians get hurt and killed in wars, that is part of the cost.
War should and must be so horrible, so terrifying, that your enemies never desire to resort to it again.
If you expect to win, you have to kill until your enemies surrender unconditionally.

The rest of the world doesnt play with silly ROE like the Americans. The great generation of Americans during WWII fought to win. Allies being led by Americans destroyed entire cities in Germany and Japan. Fire-bombing of Dresden and Tokyo killed many hundreds of thousands of civilians, for each city in one day. That's not including the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The rest of the world is wondering what happened to American resolve to win wars. We used to play to win.
