During a meeting yesterday, Obama pressed Eikenberry on his concerns. The NYT said the "central focus" of the president's questions was "how long it would take to see results and be able to withdraw." One official added that the president "wants to know where the off-ramps are." Exactly. It really goes back to the (Bush abandoned) Powell Doctrine. A defined, achievable mission and defined exit strategy. The Powell Doctrine was the one good thing to come out of the Vietnam experience.
