Well a few points here - First off, originally you were complaining and calling "PC" the notion of "worrying about casualties" - As in our military was being too concerned about inflicting unneeded causalities on our enemies --

You were completely wrong here, in that no where was this assertion ever made - The concern over casualties was for OUR forces. Period. Nothing to do with the enemy.

That you would have rather this extremely successful Op use laser guided munition is irrelevant. They weren't needed. Nor do you have all the information surrounding this Op to even make such a statement.

There could be over a dozen different reasons why putting a bomb on this location would have been not only foolishness but counterproductive to our greater goals.

As for the PC crap. That is exactly what that BS charge is. Crap.

We have been fighting and continue to fight the most successful unconventional war in history. Our enemies since Sept 11th have suffered one strategic defeat after another. We have not suffered one.
