If by strategy you mean leaving immediately then, yes, I agree. If you're talking about strategy in continued operations, I'm sorry, but you don't know enough on the topic to voice an opinion if you think we can keep this from happening. Like I said, you can't keep from these kinds of things happening when the enemy intentionally uses civilians as a shield.

I disagree. NATO itself has called it a "terrible mistake" - not the unfortunate result of civilians being used as shields. It was simply an outright failure. In fact, if Petraeus is to be believed, this was a violation of his rules of engagement.

By strategy i mean it is stupid to think you can solve the problem of islamic terrorism by shooting blindly in the dark. What NATO is doing is clearly the acts of a coalition that is confused - so they are doing the only thing they know how to do - kill.

It was time to leave years ago.
