            <title>Commander Says Reporting on Afghanistan Attack is $%^&amp;</title>
            <description><![CDATA[...from the get-go, that is just [expletive], and it&rsquo;s not  right


The Army did not &quot;abandon&quot; the base after the attack, as many media reporters  have suggested, Preysler said.
He said the decision to move from the location following the attack was to  reposition, which his men have done countless times throughout their tour, and  to move closer to the local seat of government.
&quot;If there&rsquo;s no combat outpost to abandon, there&rsquo;s no position to abandon,&quot; he  said. &quot;It&rsquo;s a bunch of vehicles like we do on patrol anywhere and we hold up for  a night and pick up any tactical positions that we have with vehicle patrol  bases.
&quot;We do that routinely.... We&rsquo;re always doing that when go out and stay in an  area for longer then a few hours, and that&rsquo;s what it is. So there is nothing to  abandon. There was no structures, there was no COP or FOB or anything like that  to even abandon. So, from the get-go, that is just [expletive], and it&rsquo;s not  right.&quot;
Obviously, the commander must have been catching flak for supposedly having such a &quot;lightly manned&quot; &quot;out post&quot; in the middle of hostile territory.]]></description>
