Thanks DaHoss,
Yes, it's been discussed about 1,000,000 time.
Unfortunately, it remains unresolved, therefore my request for clarity.
I don't see the need for "sacrificing" additional brave soldiers lives for this cause, but I was hoping that if someone that I've previously discussed this with (going back to the espn days) could clarify, justify...especially in regards to Gen. Petraeus's statements, I'd be much appreciative.
