Under Obama rule, since the Taliban and al Queada don’t wear uniforms, they are civilians as long as they aren’t pointing their AK-47 AT you....

“I cannot win if I do not fight the way they do.”
Winning is all about will.
But, but, “zero is the goal,” as the article stated.

“injure and eliminate our dear troops from the battlefield in the process”
Send those White boys up to Tora Bora and those well-connected, well-armored caves and let them be cut to pieces. Send lots of ‘em. I can just see that private conversation, 1 on 1, being held somewhere a while back. It makes my blood run to ice.

I’m sure glad we didn’t do this during WWII. I feel for the civilians but the country is at war.

May as well pack up our gear and bring our brave soldiers home- they cannot perform their job under such conditions. The stated goal of ZERO civilian casualties is untenable by the very definition of war.
Thanks, Zero, for emasculating our troops.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Barack Obama is a backstabbing bass turd.

Our BHO rules of engagement: Mirandize, surrender, and ask the UN to hold our rifles. Frankly, the military is smart enough not to injure civies if they can help it. After all, the Left would put them on trial. The rats!
