If you really want to enjoy yourself discuss the real Churchill with him...his knowledge of Sir Winston is sorely lacking. Not that that doesn't stop him from trying to tie Churchill quotes to his defeatist agenda.

I'm really surprised he's still here. While I enjoy a good debate, he exposed himself with his rediculous response about "searching for an exit strategy."

You know, right after 911, I and many like me spent months trying to get our commissions back and deploy. I had personal recommendations from one Congresscritter, a General Officer and two full Colonels AND the Governor of Florida. I fought for months thru paperwork and medicals until that was the thing that stopped me. Slightly overweight with a horrific case of sleep apnea. I'd still go tomorrow if they'd let me. I wouldn't even have to be a "trigger puller." I'd take a staff puke position in place of a trigger puller.
The folks who served in combat and survived have a right to get out at the end of their enlistment; unless there is a "stop loss" in effect. But to have them threatened and coerced into reupping is very B-A-D juju as Tarzan used to say. It will come back and bite the army in the A$$. There are a LOT of very experienced folks who are just aching to go, if they'll just issue a few waivers.

"The exit strategy is to be there until we don't need to be there anymore....We are removing some troops from Germany and S Korea I hear..."
Hey! I guess Bush does have an exit strategy! For Germany and Korea!

Hey I just heard we have an exit strategy for korea japan and germany, all I can say is about time.
The russians haven't been a threat since I left in 91.
BTW when are the troops coming home from the Sinai, kosovo, or beligium.
You would think the UN could take over those missions, cause I know they cann't do sudan and iran.
BTW I know soldiers who would reenlist to go back to Iraq, but then you know that.

Actually, i'm looking for an article that tells what our exit strategy is. How many democrat talking points are you going to post on how many threads before this idiocy ends? When you get spanked on one thread, you abandon it. But like a common garden mole, you pop up somewhere else seconds later.
You're a common troll and petty agent provocateur.

After 9/11, I read Steven Emerson's book and then immediately after several Churchill books. He would not be pleased at this abuse in his name :-)

Actually, i'm looking for an article that tells what our exit strategy is. If it's ever made clear how we can actually say "mission accomplished" in Iraq -- ie what criteria must be met to end our mission there How about I show you YOUR exit strategy?

Tell the terrorists they only have to hold on a couple of years, then we'll leave Iraq and they can take over.Exactly.

Saw on the FNC that the 82ND was being called up. I believe they will be rotating troops soon.

His is to vote Kerry in then run away.

"My friends and my Marines are still there, still fighting," he said softly. "Any Marine in their right mind would want to be right there with them. All I've really lost is about 10 degrees of peripheral vision, and I'll be OK without that. I'm ready to be with my Marines again."
