McChrystal's background is in clandestine ops. I don't see it as retreat, I see it as smart warfare. Yes people do die, but it is also the military's goal to minimize civilian casualties. With media reporting the way it is, commanders are forced to fight two battles. One with the enemy, and the other with public opinion of the nation being occupied. I am quite sure that when the order was given to minimize civilian casualties through retreat if nescessary, that this public view was taken into consideration. The enemy is already using civilians as cover, nothing has changed in that fact. Urban warfare is much different than just kicking in doors and opening fire. So much to think about before pulling the trigger. He didn't say NOT to fire if fired upon, he said that if civilian's were in the immediate line of fire, to "fall back" and regroup..in a nutshell. To me, that is just a little smarter. We aren't throwing in the towel, we are simply changing the way business is done in order to keep the media from portraying us as "baby killers." At least that is my take on the whole thing.

Howdy everyone from the garden state. Took a break for a while, mainly to step away from my most favorite topic of all things (politics) and let my blood pressure go back down. But, I see everyone is plugging along as usual as I should be. Hope all of you are doing well... Dan

CNN, Fox, World Net Daily, MSNBC, Yahoo News are all covering them on their websites. Fox has been doing live coverage all day long.

Then what was the point of bringing up Obama's gun ban desires in the original story. Which has changed many times, across many sites and yet somewhere in each story keeps bringing up a fear of Obama's gun ban. May not have been the full reason, but I am sure it was a player. Now, back to the original subject at hand...

So easy its unreal....

Dig a hole and cover it with sticks and leaves. If you aren't feeling neighborly, put spikes in the bottom of it. Just kidding....

Sarah Palin didn't seem to think that it was too funny. I read that he made an apology to the president of the Special Olympics privately. Not that it does any good for the rest of the people he insulted.

Steve if you have Sirius, it is on Sirius Patriot. If you want to watch it, check out the NRA news website under Cam and Co.

Well, it was a great show and reminiscent of the daily attitude of people around this board. It re-airs Saturday at 9 p.m.. www.912project.com

Anyone listen to Cam and Company last night? This guy is the one who authored the $1M insurance bill in Illinois. Apparently, after speaking with some NRA members who took their complaints to him, he tabled and killed the bill. Interesting interview. Go to Cam and Co. on the NRA news website, and watch.
