Yet the military can have an identical target refused by ROE overseers because there may be a “civilian” nearby.
That same target then kills or injures one of our own.
Hulda, just got word of more casualties...Pray.
Is there a veterans group that can be of support to Hulda here on Fr? I’m sure there is but don’t know who to contact.
10-4, thanks. I guess that the left set him up to be the darling of the right with Hitlery’s willing disbelief comment. What really started to smell was when he demoted himself to take over McStanley’s post.
Warning sign #1 and #2 came shortly after when the ROE was further restricted when he took over operations in theatre.
Then #3 when they ushered Gates out of the Pentagon to be replaced by Panetta and then for Petreaus named Director of an agency he had no real direct contract with beforehand.
I still say the ROE was not his idea, but as a willing pawn took credit for it to keep the heat off his superiors who were already under fire for it.
Roger that. Prayers already up as I saw 4 NATO casualties reported about three hours ago.
Freepers under the Religion category get together and pray every day “Pray for our American Heroes” if anyone wants to join in.
Will Petraeus be there under the new administration? What are Romney’s leanings with the war?
<Amens are there.
That is the crapshoot we have with Romney as much as it pains me to believe. He has shown no indications he will turn the rudder more than 2° and this idiotic vacation he has been on for the past week or two is following the same stupid purple pill scenario that McLaim did.
Now that he has brought in his personal Palin hater as the new message man to replace the etch-a-sketch idiot, I cannot feel comfortable he will make any changes in ideology even though the names will change.
The only positive thing about a Romney administration is we will come off the turbo boost on our way to socialism.
Then again, he could surprise us all but I am of the opinion that I would find my backyard full of unicorns tomorrow morning before I could expect the GOPe to grow a set of ‘nads. So enough of trying to cheer you up. Prayers up to your family and the extended family to all with precious resources doing God’s bidding.
O my gosh....this is betrayal. Those stats of increased casualties is an utter travesty. I will gladly vote for a partial comservative to get Obama”ass out of there so these troopers can take care of bussiness. God have mercy on Obama”s soul...he is going to need it!

All you need to do is look at this clown and you realize he's an ass-sucking bureaucrat, who's only real talent is being a little bit better at it all than the guy he climbed over.
This guy gave his life for our nation.

Certainly. Bump!
Another question that has had me fuming, why was the focus on ben laden, when the destructive brains are in the head of al zawahiri? And what’s up with the prison breaks?
Thanks for this.
Here’s the statistics in Afghanistan for the 8 years of George Bush. The total killed in action under him is 660. Barack Obama in 3 years and 5 months the total killed in action is a total of 1,398
Wounded under George Bush is 2,637 in 8 years. Wounded under Obama up to January 31st of this year is 11,529G
Have linked your article of the six new casualties here.
Was Obama’s policy involved? Will we ever know.

These stats need to be told over and over again by Romney and he needs to confront Obama on this in the debates and not back off! We had better make sure he does too!

Shame on the nation: American Hero Michael Behenna Loses Final Appeal
There is something horribly wrong in America when a soldier is jailed for killing the enemy. The criminalization of our heroes is the liberal wet dream and the goal of the enemy, Islamic supremacists. Indeed, they make common cause of their hatred of the good.
Lt. Behenna shot a known al qaeda killer on the battlefield, a terrorist the Army had actually issued a kill/capture order for before they realized he was already dead.
