#3 I am not a military man, but it sure does seem to take a LONG time between seeing the bad guys and deciding to kill them.

#5 Iblis, because the bad guys don't wear uniforms, and because it is better(*) for Americans to die than to shoot a noncombatant, we have to be absolutely sure that they are actually bad guys. Apparently shooting at a helicopter is not enough to convince the lawyers of the bad guys' evil intentions.

* - in Obama's and the left's eyes, that is.

#6 Rambler's right. After all, it could be the ANA firing on what they think is a Taliban helicopter*, so we need to clarify that before we engage.

* - We all know what an extensive air force the Talibunnies got. I hear they got Zeroes and Stukas too!
