Tell me, how do you set up an exit plan for a war? This seem to be a big talking point for many Dems. It seems to me that any exit plan is an excersice in futility. Unless you can see the future, trying to set up an exit plan will fail every time due to changing circumstances and evolving conditions within a war situation.

By the way can anyone name any instance where a government went to war with an exit strategy?

Did it come close to working?

All battle plans have to be flexible to succeed. Trying to set your feet on a predetermined path is an invitation for defeat.

A good commander, General down to PFC, should have a plan to disengage from any battle. Disengaging is not retreating it is breaking contact with the enemy. The Democrats criticize the plan of the war in Iraq with no plan of their own. Run like hell is not a plan. If they can come up with a better plan I am sure the Generals would more than happy to look at it.

The main flaw in the poster's thesis is comparing this particular war to any other war. This one is unique. First, it's a war that shouldn't have happened. Second the 'reasons' for the war revolve around western control of middle east oil and the economic interests of the US oil industry. Third, the people of Iraq have a totally different concept of how a society should be structured than people in the west. Fourth, the differences between Sunni and Shiite are unlike anything we've had in the west since the wars between the protestants and catholics. In short, there is no good way to deal with the situation that the Bush administration has gotten us into. Like the Tar Baby story in Uncle Remus, we're stuck. Worse, the Bush Junta has already lost this war. To solve any problem, first you have to admit there is a problem..Bush and company are not going to do that. So, until the Bush administration is out of office we're screwed. After Bush is gone we're going to have to either formulate an exit plan or a institute a draft because this war will become institutionalized with no natural stopping place.

WWI - Wilson (A Democrat) had an go out plan. as a be counted of certainty that Germany surrendered as a rule via a thought that Wilson's 14 factors may be accompanied. regrettably, the Versailles Treaty secure the war Guilt clause that blamed WWI on the Germans. undesirable call and the international paid for it 20 years later. Oh and the Republican Congress stymied Wilson at each turn and saved the US from starting to be a member of the League of u . s . a .. WWII - go out attitude replaced into of course in place --- Unconditional resign and that's precisely what we've been given. back, FDR, a Democrat had that one spelled out from the initiating. Korea - properly - this conflict isn't over and you're suited, we don't have an go out attitude for this one. yet of course we can thank China for screwing this one up for the international. We had defeated the NK forces and have been mopping as much as the Yalu River whilst the chinese language released their armies around the border and made the state of NK a threat. Vietnam --- LBJ --- enable's all be trustworthy -- this dude is extraordinarily on the fringe of being a conservative in spite of all his kin transformations. Nixon, a Republican finally positioned forward the go out attitude, which led to the removing human beings forces from a place we would desire to constantly by no ability have been. As we so commonly do, we stood interior the way of Vietnamese Nationalism, on the grounds that they had chosen communism as their form of government. they are communist immediately and you will %. up outfits made in Vietnam at your community Wal-Mart. So now Vietnam has the conservative seal of approval. Somalia - entire disaster with a Democrat on the helm. This liberal Democrat might have flattened Mogadishu day after today after the activities of Black Hawk Down. those ignorant human beings could have been blasted off the planet and the international we be better for it. in certainty, we nevertheless would desire to point that blighted city. Iraq, properly that one belongs to you Republicans. it is your infant so i will help you tell me the go out attitude.
