Four marines die so Obama can look good avoiding civilian casualties....Who's side are you on Obama?...I think we all know the answer. Damn shame!

Officers didn’t want to jeopardize their careers more than they didn’t want their men to die.

There is absolutely NO reason for us to be in Afghanistan.

You can always tell when liberal democrats are in charge - everything gets %ucked up! Liberals are the enemy - murdered our boys!

I agree, when we can’t defend our own men, we need to get out and get out NOW!

I smell an Obamaloon somewhere in the story.
Incompetence = Obamaloon crony.

Mogadishu redux. ROE’s have been changed to refelct hope and change. The hope is for the bad guys the change is our marines and grunts get no arty or air support.

I’m usually the last one to “defend” the Obama administration in any way, but let’s be brutally honest here . . . how is this incident any different than the U.S. military campaign in Lebanon in 1983?

Obama hates Marines. Prove he doesn’t.

If this is an example of our new “rules of engagement”, then for the first time in my life I am going to side with liberals and say “it’s time to get out”.

"There is absolutely NO reason for us to be in Afghanistan."
Gee jun509. that was a purposeful post.
Now what would you have done?
What is your background
Please STFU.
Try supporting something other than you ignorant stupid ass position.
I am sure that there is space on the DU or DailyKos

It's not except that was twenty six years ago and our military learns from its mistakes. They just aren't allowed to apply those lessons since zero is in charge. Just like with the "Blackhawk Down" mess under Clinton.

Four marines die so Obama can look good avoiding civilian casualties....This might give pause to those considering service. It is vital to have faith in the chain of command if you're volunteering to be in harm's way.
To: AngelesCrestHighway
The families of these Marines need to take Obama to court, prove to that he is or is not eligible to be the CIC. If he is not he needs to be tried for murder.

I don't think our military learns from its mistakes at all.
The U.S. military is filled with hacks who put their careers ahead of the safety of their subordinates. It's just as true in 2009 as it was in 1983.
In both cases, just think of how many decisions were made up and down the entire chain of command that caused these tragic results.
