Gee. Maybe our Lawyer-in-chief should send legions of Armani-suit-wearing attorneys armed with briefcases, since this is nothing more than a criminal matter, right?

Nothing is sadder than Marines dying for this worthless POS.

I’m sorry to say that this will be increasingly common.

Obama’s rules of engagement are a return to micromanagement of a kind that characterized the LBJ years in Vietnam.

Our troops are put in an impossible position, basically prevented from defending themselves. And if they DO defend themselves, they put themselves in danger of a courtmartial.

As Eisenhower told JFK, don’t start a war unless you intend to win it. If you don’t want to do the things necessary to win it, then it would be better to pull out. Otherwise, we are sacrificing the lives of our troops for nothing.

our bobble head pres. is protecting his pals = the tallies - not our troops.
August was the deadliest month for our troops since 2001 - and where is the media reporting that and asking why.

The tallies now know that we are not allowed to strike the villages from the air - so they now will dig in and use them for their base of operations, and they know that a ‘flyby to scare them’ is as empty as the head of bobble head...

He is a murderer - and a muslim sympathizer - and a traitor and -

Pssst! Troops! If McChrist-al has banned bombing, call for the artillery. Arty used to be the poor man’s air force, bringing rubble to big trouble. Of course, they prolly don’t have any light artillery anywhere in ‘Stan. Rumsfeldt did away with all the light artillery for tracked 155 MM artillery. The 105MM was the Infantry’s best friend in my day.

There was another “overseas contingency operation” about 40 years ago that we were not allowed to win.

This is absolutely ridiculous!!! Heads should roll. If we are so stupid that we send our troops out without adequate air and artillery support, these commanders should be immediately relieved.

Lets use our military effectively. For the persons who now sit in the seats of power, lets draw the proper conclusions.

The list, ping

Let's see. -A president leaves troops without air cover. Troops die. -Said same president pulls the rug from the intelligence community.

I wonder what happened to the last president who did that?

"Obama has decided that the new rules of engagement require our troops not to engage the enemy or return fire unless they can guarantee that no civilians will be hurt or killed and that they must withdraw (retreat) when they are attacked."
