>To sustain broad, bipartisan support for interventions requires that we rebuild a domestic consensus on a fundamental but elusive issue: the question of legitimacy

I think the main thing
(and maybe the only thing)
is a very clear

EXIT policy.
It must be reasonable.
Right now, in Iraq,

exit policy
seems to be "when things are cool"
when, of course, things there

will never cool down.
But President Obama
or, say, Hillary,

could go right into
Pakistan if they flat out
said they would get out

after destroying
every al-Qaeda base there.
I think everyone

would support a goal
with clear and reasonable
exit policy.

An Exit Policy .....on Draining the Middle East SWAMP.....NOW That’s a JOKE!!!
