SOMEBODY TELL SEAN HANNITY!

The Baby Jesus routinely attacks Democrats for asserting that we've killed civilians in Afghanistan and tries to turn it into an attack on our troops. This smear has been around for a few years and I'd like to think something like this would garner a retraction from him.

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. special operations forces in Afghanistan need more precision weapons systems to better avoid unintended civilian deaths, a top military officer told Congress Thursday.

The warning from U.S. Special Operations Command leader Adm. Eric T. Olson came as the Pentagon's top military officer revealed that he does not believe discipline is warranted in the recent U.S. bombing in Afghanistan that killed dozens of Afghan citizens.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday acknowledged that the accidental killing of civilians in Afghanistan has become one of the military's greatest strategic problems in the faltering war.
