New Obama Military Rules of Engagement:, Don’t shoot back
Backpacker ^ | Jul. 04 2009

Recently on ABC television news, one of their videos showed a U.S. Marine hunkered down in Afghanistan complaining on camera that he was not allowed to shoot back when under fire. This situation resulted from Obama’s new rules of engagement from his new Afghanistan commander. General McChrystal explained it to BBC news that they are now advising troops to break off from firefights with the Taliban, "If you are in a situation where you are under fire from the enemy... if there is any chance of creating civilian casualties or if you don't know whether you will create civilian casualties, if you can withdraw from that situation without firing, then you must do so”

Is this why the body count is going up in Afghanistan since Obama took office?

Is this for real? If yes, Barack Hussein Obama is killing our troops himself.

Until now, I never even considered that Obama was not born in the USA. But this is looking more and more like Manchurian Candidate material, you know....?

JUST WOW.

Now we know why he is so indicisive about the war and why he could not call the attack at Fort Hood terrorism.

If this is the case, the troops just need to be brought home.
