Sorry, but this is a bad strategy. There’s no way we can win this war if the bad guys are allowed to say “base” each time we attack.
When did we stop using carpet bombing as a strategy, and why?
Message this sends to bad guys: Hide behind women and children, it works!
Isn’t this fighting a war with one hand behind your back?
Might as well pull out now.

Sounds like we are going back to the Sadr City and Fallujah and those ended up as complete disasters...unbelievable.
How soon until we see the first Taliban convoys with women and children tied to the roofs and sides of the trucks to ensure safe passage?
CNN - STFU NOW YOU TREASONOUS B*STARDS!
“..if there’s any doubt at all that the enemy is firing from a house or building where there might be women and children, that we’ll just back off,”
Will that same strategy be employed as an answer to domestic terrorism?
Karzai could end this crap in a minute. Instead of being a muslim first he should man up and put the blame for these incidents on the terrorists, where it belongs, but instead this grifter's got his left hand out shaking down Uncle Sugar for the last nickel.
Posting what I think will lead to eviction from this site.
Sorry sir, it didn’t look like a house or building where there might be women and children, so we leveled it. It looked more like an ammo dump with all that hostile fire coming from it.
Not only is this bad strategy but to ANNOUNCE it to the enemy in advance is truly stupid.
Didn’t you lot learn anything from your adventures in Vietnam?
There is NO SUCH THING as “limited warfare”.
You cannot win if the Enemy gets to call “Pax”.
The Enemedia is not your friend.
The Public DO NOT have the “right to know” everything.
More American soldiers will lose their lives needlessly because of this foolishness. Whoever gave this order ought to be bastinadoed.
We may as well just wrap the whole thing up and come home. Why should we waste the lives of our soldiers when they are there for a specific reason. We’re supposed to be there because the Taliban were sheltering the people that killed 3000 of our CIVILIANS! Why stay when we can’t fight back?
Big mistake to further tie our Troops hands.
Bigger mistake to announce it to our enemies.
Why not just send them all of our strategies, so they don’t get hurt?
Patton, MacArthur, Eisenhower, Bradley, Westmoreland, Pershing, all the great Generals we have had the Honor to see produced, must be rolling in their graves today.
Check your source, please.
CNN?
Ring any bells? Like snuff videos of AlQ snipers killing US soldiers?
Just label this thread as total BS and save us all a little aggravation, anyway. If any US military officer would actually speak to CNN, let alone come up with a line of crap like this, he’d have to request immediate transfer to keep his own troops from accidentally dropping him down the stairs...five or six times.
"Holy carp, Muhammed, we are in a firefight with the great satan's troops."
"Quick, Achmed, run to the civilians, we'll be safe."
"But they are running away."
"Shoot a few and they will stop. Then we'll be safe."
Why not simply announce that the DNC and our closet Muslim President-elect (most Muslims consider and celebrate him as a Muslim) have decided to surrender in the war against Islamic terrorists....
Why not save a lot of blood and treasure, throw up the white flag, salute the Green Flag of Islam and call it quits...
I think I'm going to puke....
I could see this coming -— but 50+% of “americans” are too damned ignorant to recognize their slave masters.
