I might have to go to Kansas and tell Johnny's mama that he got his head blown off trying to arrest Mladic in a coffee shop somewhere. Or better, in a bunker. So you tell what it's going to cost. Now the politicians, understanding that, have got to commit. They've got to commit resources.
Resources means time, equipment, money, and lives.
And in my personal view you do need an end state. And then you stick to it. The other thing you hope, and this has nothing to do with the military, it's a political evaluation really, you hope that the conditions you have established by the use of the military will have some permanence after the military leaves. We had a very clear mission statement. That was the mission.
