Back in the days when we used to win wars, we used to just blow the Eff out of the town. Civilian casualties were unfortunate but pretty unavoidable. It used to hurt to be in a war with us.
Now we paint bullseyes on ourselves and dig wells. Are we winning yet?

Commanding General Stanley McChrystal has made limiting civilian casualties a higher priority than loss of American lives.
If true, McChrystal is unfit for command and a traitor.

Fox News had a video report on these ROE. Marines behind a low wall taking sniper fire. They knew where and what building it was coming from. Then two men walk out of the building ... the Marines can't kill them because they aren’t carrying weapons!
WTF?

We've been at this for a few days now, and while I've heard the reports of taliban snipers, and ridiculous rules of engagement, I've not heard any American casualty or fatality reports.
I hope that it's just that we aren't taking any casualties, and not that they're not being reported in an attempt to cover for the BS, self defeating rules of engagement our guys are being handicapped with.
