"I was pinned on rooftops with them in Ubeydi for hours taking incoming fire, and I've seen them not fire a shot back because they did not have positive identification on a target."

More of the insanity in how we are fighting terrorists in Iraq. Our troops get pinned down by fire and are afraid to shoot back, lest the anti-American media pounce on them, or their own superiors court martial them. These pc constraints in the so-called "rules of engagement" are the main reason why this thing isn't over yet. The other side is fighting a vicious war, while our guys are forced to fight as 'gentlemen'. Who is the worst enemy of our troops, Mohammed, the media, or our own political leaders?

I thought that Bush wouldn't repeat the same PC mistakes as in Vietnam, but I think he lost all of his chutzpah after the invasion or at the latest, after Abu Grahib "scandal". Rumsfeld has been declawed long ago.

The left throws mud at the wall and sees what sticks. Bush & Co are just trying to cower to avoid getting hit.
