Taliban Chief Hiding in Populated City to Avoid Predator Drone Attacks
U.S. intelligence officials believe that Taliban leader Mullah Omar has moved to the Pakistani port city of Karachi in order to avoid Predator drone strikes.
Why would Omar believe moving to a more populated area increase his security against drone attacks? Because under Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s approach and his prescribed Rules of Engagement (ROE) for our military–unmanned aerial vehicles included–are not permitted to fire on terrorists targets when civilians are present.
The enemy knows this and is using it to his advantage.
Do you now understand why I’m not like every other right-wing blogger who automatically took McChrystal’s side in his battle with Chairman Obama for more troops?
McChrystal’s ROE are not only hampering and getting our troops killed, they are aiding and being exploited by the enemy.
The enemy isn’t stupid like American liberals, folks; he’s using our obsession with political correctness to his advantage.
