New plan:
Instead of killing the Taliban, we're going to grant them citizenship, register them as Democrats and hand out absentee ballots.

Bush’s general, ergo Bush’s fault no matter what the changes turn out to be.

If it is to allow the soldiers to fight and perhaps win, then McCrystal has had a win in my book.

The O-bot also knows that the public is suspicious of his intent to win; he MUST hire a winner. Petraeus is a winner WITH political cred.
My bet is that Petraeus used that leverage, demanding changes in the ROE or he wasn't going to take that job. The backstabbing is yet to come.

If you think we can “win” in that tribal, corrupt, medieval society, you are heading for a major dissappointment. They are are the graveyard of empires, ROE or no ROE.
To: GoCards
Perhaps Petraeus made that a deal breaker?
“Listen sir, I know this sounds like crazy talk, but if I take the job, I need the troops to be able to...well...defend themselves and kill the enemy.”

Conservatives are so gulliable. Now..just because Obama has put a new bureaucrat in charge, they are suddenly cheerleaders for Obama’s war (the longest one in American history) again.

You can win anyplace. It’s a question of how far you’re willing to go.
“Nuke ‘em ‘til they glow” would be a win in some circles.

So killing the enemy will now be authorized?Sure. With the following provisos:
Enemy must have his rights read first.
Washington lawyers must be contacted and approve by a supermajority.
Finally, there is to be NO (count it) NO collateral damage.
If there is any violation of the above, prepare to be brought home for a court martial and prepare to start making small rocks out of large rocks. /sarc
Dammit, let's fight to win or bring the troops home.

I would love to hope that Petraeus exerted some pressure on 0. Someone needs to.
