that is if we tell them on X day we will be gone. Mike, I've seen you say this many, many times and can't for the life of me, figure out why you would think it is smart to tell the enemy when and where you are going to "stop" or "quit."

If we had done that in the Rev War and said when we would stop, do you think Britain would have just stopped and waited until we quit to come back in and take us over?

I think they would have waited.

If we had done that in the WWI or WWII, do you think the enemy would have laughed, and just said OK...we will wait until you stop. Then we will come in and take over.

I think they would have waited.

In VietNam, we DID say when we were leaving. So they stopped and waited till we left. Then the North VC took over, and ended up killing 10's of thousands of people in the area.

Is that what you want to happen again?
