Personally I'd much rather be fighting terrorists in Iraq with our military than here. Let's move out of Iraq like most dumb Democrats want us to do (which is also what Saddam wants us to do) and let those terrorists follow us home and start attacking many more civilians here instead of military personnel there. That seems to be the Democrats' plan.

We have an exit strategy. We're going to pound their ***es into the ground and go home. That was the exit strategy for WW2, right?

the FPDs are constrained from protesting the war's bogus "weapons of mass destruction" rationale because they, too, thought Saddam was hiding chemical and biological weapons. ........................................................... Both Berger and Cohen have a profit motive not to alienate the Bushies. Berger is co-chair (with Republican lobbyist Charles Black) of the Civitas Group, which helps companies win government contracts related to homeland defense. One of the firm's board members is Joe Allbaugh, who was Bush's gubernatorial chief of staff and until recently served as director of the Federal Emergency Management Administration. Cohen runs something called the Cohen Group, which helps "multinational clients explore opportunities overseas." One of the countries the Cohen Group does business in is Iraq. ......................................................... Probably alone among this group, Albright and Holbrooke each have a motive to hold the spotlight. For Albright, it's to sell her recently-published memoir, Madam Secretary. Message 19444626

All smart wars should have an exit strategy first. For liberals that's true. Others look for a victory strategy. You're no Sun Tzu.

Your correct. In fact, any business plan should include an exit strategy. So much for Bush's business sense. I get the feeling that Bush was starting to get into the 'I am GOD' approach to war, much the same way Robert E. Lee did at Gettysburg. Bush, I think, felt he didn't need a plan because finding the WMD's would be sufficient vindication for him to get whatever funds Bush needed for reconstruction, not to mention a Republican controlled congress. Of course, we all know what happened to THAT PLAN.
