If we're not going to fight this war, let's just leave now. This is a brilliant Obamanesqe strategy to win in Afghanistan.
I can't believe this. When we find a nest of Taliban/Al Quada snipers inside a house or neighborhood, we now will withdraw if possible to minimize civilian casualties. A noble concept but surely not a winning one.

Withdraw

...as as they depart, the mighty American military will be singing -- not "From the Halls of Motezuma" or "Over Hill, over Dell" or "Ride of the Valkyries" -- oh, no, they will have to sing KUM BA YAH

I'm assuming, according to this new battle directive that all he has to do is keep a bunch of civilians around him and we can't touch him.
Just brilliant.
