Patreus has been getting a bad rap from both sides but his soldeirs universally love him

I thought the navy admiral was going to be in charge of the operation, over Petraeus. What happened to him?

This translates into:

You don't have to "two step" through EOF or request permission to shoot a bastard you believe to be a threat...

You will not be charged with murder, for acting in rational reaction to any life threatening situation..

THIS IS LONG OVERDUE

General Petreuas

I thought he was a Spartan.

Your chain of command will stand with you.

Of course I believe and honor the General and the troops -- it's the chain of command that I worry about as it traverses the beltway.

So does this change the status for the Haditha marines or any others being prosecuted ...

I missed the part that says we are not here to take prisoners. We are here to kill the enemy.

Excellent news Jaz. I have always believed that the surge is a main cover to change the Rules of Engagements to be much tougher and of course the surge serves to increase the number of troops to HOLD the cleared areas. Everything is working according to plan :)

God bless our troops and their Commander in Chief.

Gen Patraeus is nobody's fool and a true leader. Like his boss.
