None of the four Secretaries of Defense have agreed with Obama, and now, a change in the rules.

Washington Times:   Defense Secretary Ashton Carter says the U.S. is prepared to change the “rules of engagement” in the fight against the Islamic State terrorist group, pointing to methods like targeting fuel trucks controlled by the terrorist group.   
Note:  Aston Carter is the 4th Secretary of Defense to insist that the rules of engagement are deterrents to success in the war against ISIS. 

“We’ve reviewed them — we review them all the time,” Mr. Carter said in an interview for MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Actually, if you look at the data, the thing that most enhances the impact of the air campaign is better and better intelligence. We’re prepared to change rules of engagement. We’ve changed tactics, as we just did in the case of the fuel trucks.”

Editor's notes:  we blew up 116 oil tankers the beginning of this week   . . . .   an obvious change in the rules,  whether approved by Obama or not.
