Let's assume for the sake of argument that they don't have any idea how long this whole thing will take. Does it follow that we should not do it at all?
That's not even an option. We're there. I just think when Cheney or Bush brush off the question of exit strategy, they are BS-ing. Their answer is tactical. It's designed to deflect the real question. Of course we don't want to leave without "finishing the job." But let's put some specifics on what "finishing the job" means. Measurements. Why is it, measurements are all-important to this admin's Kennedy Education plan, but when it comes to the war, it's "as long as it takes" and that's all they say? It makes no sense, other than they just don't want to talk about it. Too bad we don't have two CREDIBLE parties in this country, or GWB might have been taken to task.
