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”

No, thouworm, it was a general post. Should have said ALL. You just got lucky. LOL
Just letting everyone on this thread who didn’t realize it that this started way back in July, and it isn’t just our Troops. It’s ALL of NATO’s troops as well. Body counts are going up for every country involved with these “new” ROE.
What do you mean a “hit piece?”
OT to thread, but uplifting...
Tea Parties: Misunderstood and Vastly Underrated

Not only is this Kenyan bastard killing our troops, he is condemning our troops who have fallen in the past 8 yearss to have died in vain. He is purposely trying to lose this war and demoralize our fighting men and women. Damn him!
NOTHING is out of the question with the boy king.

What do we expect from J.E.S.U.S.*, the Obamessiah?

This is not news. The Onada ROE went into effect six or seven months ago at least. The military rolled over for it—just like it rolled over for the politicians in the Viet Nam war. Our Army did not lose Viet Nam. The politicians did. Same is happening in Afghanistan.
All of us have watched Onada coming for 60 years and have done nothing meaningful to prevent it. Pubbies allowed the GOP to be taken over by RINOs by repeatedly voting for RINO candidates “just to keep a demrat out of office”. Problem: A RINO is a demrat by another name.
Oh, and I was guilty too. Complaining and whining “why don’t THEY do something”. The question now is what are we, as individuals (including you and me) prepared to do to take back our country. Simply mailing in $10 campaign contributions and voting are no longer sufficient effort. Gotta join Tea Parties, challenge people who attack, ca Christianity and be prepared to join America’s Second Revolution.
I remain hopeful there will be a political solution to the Marxist attack on America and its institutions. But I’m prepared to fight. Are you?
He needs to be tried for treason.
I’m surprised the ROE doesn’t require the presence of a JAG officer to authorize return fire....
Yeah JAG’s giving miranda rights. Might as well be. It is disgusting.
Yes,for aiding and abetting terrorists and putting his political ideals before the safety of this country...for starters.
A new campaign slogan that if the pubs don’t say loudly and proudly, this country is done...
NO MORE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, No MORE UNITED NATIONS!
Mirandize.
Contact the Pentagon for conference call with senior JAG officers.

Why isn’t our media reporting this? Why do we have to read the real news from the UK and Canada? CBS did a blurb on it. 60 minutes reported it with so much political correctness the subject’s reality was protected.
Obama and the RAT Party throwing our military under their treasonous bus. The American people won’t be kind in 2010.
