General Petraeus Quote: Okay, let's straighten this out right now. If you're going to quote General Petraeus, get the quote right! I keep hearing Democrats quoting him inaccurately as saying "there is no military solution in Iraq".
What he really said:
"There is no military solution ALONE in Iraq".
Meaning there must be political and economic components to the solution. And when properly quoted and in context, you can see the military IS one of the components to the Iraq problem. If you pull the coalition forces out, you STILL HAVE AN INCOMPLETE SOLUTION!
