New Rule: No Fighting Near Afghan Homes

June 22, 2009
Associated Press

KABUL - The top U.S. general in Afghanistan will soon formally order U.S. and NATO forces to break away from fights with militants hiding in Afghan houses so the battles do not kill civilians, a U.S. official said Monday.

It's insane.

The Obama Administration once again demonstrates why liberals can't win wars any more.

 

[Salty]

I'm sure after the order is official, then the militants will no longer bother the civilians.:saint:

Let's just pack up then and let the terrorists have it. You cannot play that nice and win a war. There's no way.

 

[donnA]

so when our people are attacked near homes, they are to do what? get killed without fighting back in a war?

 

[sag38]

It's pure stupidity. It's a wonder anyone joins the military having to follow such stupid rules of engagement.

What's the difference between a terrorist and a patriot? Who wins the war?

Patriots don't kill innocent people in shopping centers with homemade bombs... terrorists do.

Your moral ambivalence is astounding.

This is probably the most asinine, idiotic, and PC statements I have read here in a long, long time!!

No wonder this country is so screwed up, with this kind of thinking!

(Perhaps BW is just trying to be cute and garner attention, rather than really believing what he posted - sure hope so anyway.

I'd hate to think anybody was so --- well, you pick the adjective!!!:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: )

Certainly not the acts of a patriot.
