Just give our guys.. who happen to be the deadliest and most sophisticated military operation on the planet.. a shot at keeping us (civilians, at home) safe! let them go to wherever these terrorist asshats are and neutralize them. I don't see why it's so complicated. Just bury the bastards... better them, than tolerate another tragedy on American soil. the enemy doesn't give a crap about killing civilians, they proved that on 9-11. I'm not saying we always need to give our military carte blanche to go destroying things willy nilly, but we are paying our tax dollars to have national and international safety, so let them do their jobs. the way they know how, and be done with it already.
