EXIT STRATEGY

Terrorist sympathizers in the Democrat Party are constantly prattling "EXIT STRATEGY" as if they have latched on to some clever argument. Next time you hear this phrase, ask the Leftist the following:

What was our "EXIT STRATEGY" for the Revolutionary War? After all, it lasted 6 1/2 years and we took on the most powerful military in the world, which also hired Hessians to help them try to defeat us.

NO? You mean there never WAS an "EXIT STRATEGY" for the Revolutionary War? All right then, how about the Civil War? What was the North's "EXIT STRATEGY"? Has that document ever been published? NO? No "EXIT STRATEGY" for the Revolutionary War?

Fast forward to World War I. "EXIT STRATEGY" please. NONE?

World War II. "EXIT STRATEGY" please. What? You mean we STILL have troops in Germany even 60 years after World War II. And don't forget Korea. No "EXIT STRATEGY" there and our troops are still present there in large numbers.

Yes, the Leftists retort, but they're not DYING. Nor are troops in Iraq dying in nearly the numbers civilians are dying on the roads of America. 50,000 a year. Doctors are killing patients at a rate almost twice that. Have policemen eradicated murder in any city in America? NO? You mean people are STILL DYING in America? That's it. Let's pull our people out of the quagmire called America.

You give the scumbag dems musc more credit than they deserve. Thier objective has nothing to do with Iraq. They simply are trying to force W to carve some facts in stone so that, when circumstances change, they can jump up and doen and whine, "Liar, liar!"

There has never been a group of adults more void of ideas that our Congressional dems. The honest one or two among them must be outraged. And, they seem to be incapable of doing ANYTHING positive. An Iraqi timetable is just a GOTCHA tactic. Oh, sure, some of the dems are certainly working for the terrorists but some of them probably are not traitors but are just dumb, stupid, neocommunist anti-Americans. Always remember a dem poster boy for clueless; Elijah Cummungs (sp?) wearing white gloves and carrying a pillow with a crown, helping Rev. Moon become Emperor of the Universe in the US capitol.

I endorse a three way exit strategy. Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Their 2006 strategy seems to be the same old thing:

Say it loud enough and long enough, someone will start to believe it.

IMHO, it will not work this time.

My two cents.

The exit strategy is when the Iraqis can defend themselves and have learned to live with one another.

Those are extremely subjective criteria. That's what makes this different from other military operations, and that's why it doesn't make sense at all to compare this to the Civil War. (Reconstruction, maybe, but not the Civil War itself)
