As I mentioned in post #4 this goes against the official policy positions of the President and SecDef. Well tonight on NBC news they called the SecDef on the carpet about this mission. He tap danced his way around it and would only say that 'direct combat missions will continue on a case by case basis.' Translation: you guys are on your own.

Sounds like they (POTUS/SecDef) got their dicks caught in their hands (again.) I'm glad to see the media finally calling them liars.

This kind of "mission support" from Democratic leadership led to the debacle in Mogadishu. I hope we are not going to sacrifice too many people to realize you are in with both feet and not trying to (micro)manage from Washington.
