The denial of fire support was -directly- the fault of Petraeus orders. He issued the no support orders after he replaced McChrystol. But i’m sure he ran it by Lt col Paula Broadstone first.

Yes that ROE order probably was signed by Petraeus and I'm not sticking up for him but there were other top brass involved besides him. At the very least the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and SECDEF plus Obummer and those ROE still stand...It's criminal in my view.
