His account illustrates the very restrictive rules of engagement troops are currently operating under that are intended to minimize civilian casualties. Notice in the story that every single mortar round fired requires higher authorization. Not air strikes, mortar rounds.
So McCrystal and Obama think this is how you fight a war? Pretending that they are fighting to win on the news so they can score some political points. If they're not gonna fight the war properly then bring the troops home. No more political games.
