CWO Pat Woellhof is expressing the truth. Mr. Kristof may not like the stark reality of war, but here it is. Saddam uses these tactics. His people bear the pain. America takes the bad rap. Where is the logic here? Should the Marines not shoot to kill? Use rubber bullets? Walk away? What, Mr .Kristoff?
From NY Times' self-proclaimed dove, Nicholas Kristof :
"My intrepid Times colleagues Dexter Filkins and Michael Wilson are with U.S. marines who were in a firefight in which Iraqi fighters hid among women and children. After 10 Americans had been killed, the marines became less meticulous about avoiding civilian casualties."
"It's not pretty; it's not surgical," Chief Warrant Officer Pat Woellhof told them. "You try to limit collateral damage, but they want to fight. Now it's just smash-mouth football."
