.........Mr. Gibbs I have a two part question.....4 U.S. Marines died when they were denied the support they requested. Is this type of report what we can expect more often under the Obama Administration and what other restrictions can we expect to be put on our soldiers?...

......."The first shot cracked out at 5:30 a.m.,"............
............"At 5:50 a.m., Army Capt. Will Swenson, of Seattle, WA,....... began calling for air support or artillery fire from a unit of the Army's 10th Mountain Division. The responses came back: No helicopters were available.".............
................"At 6:05 a.m., as our position was becoming increasingly tenuous"..........
............."Fifty minutes later, as a curtain of white phosphorus smoke roiled across the valley, "..............
................"It was now 7:10 a.m., and with the helicopters prowling overhead and firing into the hillsides, the incoming gunfire slackened enough for us to move again."............
.........."we waited more than an hour for U.S. helicopters to arrive, despite earlier assurances that air cover would be five minutes away. "..................
Inexcusable, Lancey.

This asswipe McChrystal has to go.It can't happen too soon and if Gen Petraeus doesn't make it happen he should go also. It's criminal that fire support was not given these men, it was available but denied.

Their civilians lock and load, ours can only mourn after the fact.
