Wow. You flashed on that too? I don't remember much of the Waltons, but that same thing came to my mind when I heard this.
What's funny is that there are so few conservative voices arguing against this even thought Gen. Petraeus has said it would be a bad idea. What happened to all those conservatiuve voices who warn 'this will hurt the troops' in response to any criticism of the war? Well, the commander of the whole f**cking war just told you what will hurt the troops and all I hear is.....silence.
