Turn up the audio and listen to the FOX News reports comments.

Looks like we back to the micro-managing from the top brass and probably the WH.

Typical when Libs are in power.

I tell ya its "Jimmuh" Carter all over again!

Would like to see an honest assessment and comparison of the ROE under Bush measured against those we have now.

Our ROE was pretty restrictive in Iraq while I was there last year. This video looks pretty typical of what we had heard the air assets were restricted to. Last I heard, Afghanistan was still pretty much the wild, wild west. I guess the political bullshit has finally made it's way there.

Gotta love 30 mm HEDP rounds, even if they come from the single-barrel gun on the AH-64 instead of the 7 barrel gatling gun on the A-10.

All you have to do is land the rounds reasonably close to the enemy...
