“I just think that instead of saying that the war is lost and we need to pull out, he should say lets change the damn rules of engagement and let our guys kick ass or get the hell out. “
The ROE needs to be publicly attacked.
Barring a change in the ROE our soldiers should not be fighting with tied hands.
If Chaffetz really wants to help our troops and American success, then he should be saying this about ROE, hammering Obama and Dems, instead of caving and supporting withdrawal.
I agree but there is another whole dimension to the Afghan theatre.
The constitution recognizes no law higher than Mohammedan Sharia. We should never have allowed such a constitution to be adopted after ousting the Taliban. Now we have a situation where our troops are fighting to preserve a Mohammedan state that is currently less radical than the Taliban but that could change without a Taliban return. Our troops are not allowed to discuss Christ with Afghans.
And this is the situation Bush built.
