The Obama Doctrine

Terror Hunts in Pakistan

Newly uncovered "rules of engagement" show the U.S. military gave elite units broad authority more than three years ago to pursue suspected terrorists into Pakistan, with no mention of telling the Pakistanis in advance.

The documents obtained by The Associated Press offer a detailed glimpse at what Army Rangers and other terrorist-hunting units were authorized to do earlier in the war on terror. And interviews with military officials suggest some of those same guidelines have remained in place, such as the right to "hot pursuit" across the border.

Someone might want to tell Bush and all those phony-neocons who are too stupid to know which enemy to attack, that we don't need a 'permission slip' to pursue the real terrorists, no matter where they are!

Just ask Barack Obama - He knows what the hell to do.
