Marching orders
Barney Fife rules of engagement - is no bullets next?
Obama's policy in Afghanistan should just be called "Slow Surrender." The Taliban will go quiet, Obama will pull the troops in 18 months claiming there is no reason to stay since the Taliban have been beaten. Then, after we go, the Taliban will be back in force. We are court martialing SEALS for giving a terrorist a fat lip. We are closing GITMO. We are convening a Board of Sanity to see whether or not Hasan is crazy for 13 murders at Ft. Hood. And finally, here are the Rules of Engagement for our troops in Afghanistan:
• No night or surprise searches.
• Villagers have to be warned prior to searches.
• ANA or ANP must accompany U.S. units on searches.
• U.S. soldiers may not fire at the enemy unless the enemy is preparing to fire first.
• U.S. forces cannot engage the enemy if civilians are present.
• Only women can search women.
• Troops can fire at an insurgent if they catch him placing an IED but not if insurgents are walking away from an area where explosives have been laid.
Now does that sound very smart? Anyone?
