But are our Marines going to be continually restrained into fighting a PC war?

It looks like they are.
I hope everyoe will pray for them.
And I pray that they will make it back alive.

The Bush administration seems to think it has an eternity to dither with our enemies. The morale of our troops still remains high, but if they begin to feel their lives are being put on the line for a war they will not be allowed to win, morale will crack very quickly.

I only hope the administration knows something we don't, but the recent 'cease fire' agreement in Lebanon seems to indicate that we are in full retreat back to Clintonesque claims of diplomatic success that mask underlying strategic failures.

I guess all the 'axis of evil' rhetoric was just that, rhetoric. How many more times will we complain about Syria's and Iran's actions and do nothing? It's pathetic.

Sure looks like it to me.

New order given out last week states that they cannot pursue any Iraqis that runs away, unless they are shooting at our troops......once he throws down his weapon and runs he is now an unarmed civilian.

That is crazy and demoralizing.
