There is concern among senior Democrats that the military is preparing to send up to 30,000 extra troops without a coherent plan or exit strategy.

I mean really. Who is better qualified than General Petraeus to evaluate the quality of our military planning. Could it be Barney Frank? How about Chris Dodd? Or Joe Biden? or His Highness?

It’s all in how you ‘write’ it. (as any reporter knows)

“without a coherent plan or exit strategy.”

without a coherent plan (i.e. exit strategy).

It’s just Obama’s way of saying he wants a clearly defined exit strategy that he can use to make himself look good, at the time he chooses.
