President Barack Obama insisted on Sunday that military force alone would not end the war in Afghanistan and suggested a U.S. "exit strategy" could be part of a new comprehensive policy he is expected to unveil soon...

"What we can't do is think that just a military approach in Afghanistan is going to be able to solve our problems," Obama said. "So what we're looking for is a comprehensive strategy. And there's got to be an exit strategy ... There's got to be a sense that this is not perpetual drift..."

And the hits just keep on coming.

The full court press is just beginning, folks. If nothing stands in front of this train, it is going to happen, and happen soon.

[OJDIDIT2]

I think that means cut and run.

[Hugin]

In other words, The (Clueless) One has no idea what to do.

[Dallas59]

Is that before or after he surrenders?

[coloradan]

Americans need an exit strategy from the Obama presidency as well. With at least as high a priority as the exit strategy from Afghanistan.

Comprehensive = leaving a Muslim country alone, appeasing its Radical leaders. In the case of comprehensive immigration reform, it means combining three countries with no border.

Dopey Changey is a “comprehensive” failure, already.

Me thinks you’re right. It was the right war until he saw that it was going take away some of his political capitol to win the thing.

The Kagans etal have a very good article about this in the Weekly Standard.

We need an exit strategy from this Bozo
Funny how Libtards are so worried about how to exit.

It makes one wonder.... (OK maybe not)

[reefdiver]

How about an exit strategy from government owned corporations.

Stop the bailouts, stop the banking queen!

[Steven Tyler]

I thought the exit strategy was to find Osama Bin Laden.
Check the expiry date on that promise

[nkycincinnatikid]

Simple enough.
We Win.

I have my asbestos on, so here goes.

What are we doing there at this time? Do we think we will catch Obama there or wipe out the Taliban? They have a whole region under their control in Paki, negotiated with the Paki government.

Given that we seem to be chasing them from rock to rock and we aren't going to nuke them. What would a win look like?

[kabar]

Translation. We don’t have the money to support the war. And we will still have 30 to 50 thousand troops in Iraq after the drawdown of “combat” troops.

That’s it! Thanks. (You’re fast.)

U.S. must have "exit strategy" in Afghanistan

So, who didn't see this coming?

[Krankor]

I bet the Afghani people will sleep well tonight. Why would anyone ever trust us again?

[mojito]

Obamaspeak for “We must have a surrender strategy, we must have a cut-and-run strategy.”

[section9]

Anyone thinking in terms of an “exit strategy” as opposed to doing what it takes to do to defeat the enemy will lose the war. Period.

This guy is a loser. The Talib and Al Qaeda just figured this clown out.

Two years from now, people will wish Bush were still President. Mark my word.

Best,

Chris

One can hope that ZeroBama will do for the Democrat Party in four years what President Bush did for the Republic Party in his eight years in office. That is, adversely affect the party's fortunes. That's the ideal exit strategy here.
