Obama's new rules of engagement are killing American soldiers in record numbers. He should be impeached and tried for murder. One McNamara is enough.

Upon taking management of defense policy, the Obama administration intervened to change the rules of engagement. Ralph Peters explained it this way in the New York Post: “Unless our troops in combat are absolutely certain that no civilians are present, they’re denied artillery or air support. If any civilians appear where we meet the Taliban, our troops are to ‘break contact’ — to retreat.”

Dave, I think there are MANY things the government truly needs to keep secret, and people who reveal them should be shot.

But, I also KNOW that the government and especially the military will classify information that reveals it's incompetence and mismanagement, outright theft and politically embarrassing items that should NOT be secret.

So, what to do? Let the press publish and the courts decide.
