This is a preemptive "strike" by CENTCOM, letting the world know the mosque is now a target.

Have some faith in our military, and not so much in this enemy.

We've won every single direct engagement - overwhelmingly.

I've read the news item above several times.

There was no action taken against the mosque.

I don't believe that recent events support your statement. The US has blown the tops off of several minerets used for spotting or sniping, but I am not familiar with any case where the Americans have targeted a mosque since the end of regular hostilities, even when the mosque has been used as a base or a command center. If you have evidence to the contrary, please correct me.

I do not do not doubt the courage or skills of the troops on the ground. I do not have as full a faith in some of the rules of engagement coming out of Washington. They appear to value public relations in the Arab world over American lives.

Wrong. This is what happens when civilians run the war.
