Explain to me how this is "adopting a terroristic attitude?

From CNN:

...."In the March 4 incident in Nangahar province, an explosives-rigged minivan crashed into a convoy of Marines that U.S. officials said also came under fire from gunmen.

As many as 10 Afghans were killed and 34 wounded as the convoy made an escape. Injured Afghans said the Americans fired on civilian cars and pedestrians as they sped away.

U.S. military officials said militant gunmen shot at Marines and may have caused some of the civilian casualties."....

How many "civilians" were killed by the suicide bomb, how many were killed by the terrorists firing at the convoy....and just for good measure, should the Marine convoy just have stayed and absorbed that fire? Sounds like an armed conflict between terrorists and our troops, with once again, terrorists putting civilians at risk trying to cause another massacre.

This situation is probably not. It's probably okay (pending investigation).

The statement that ROEs are "rules our enemies don't use," and the implication that we should ditch them, is what I am talking about.
