I especially like the comment by "Bill" stating we don't need an 'exit strategy', we need an exit. "NOW"..
:roll: :roll: :roll:
Jeeeeze louise, please deliver me from naive idealists who are completely clueless, yet feel qualified to advocate world policy. (NOTE: Bill, if you are a reader here in the PLATOON P&R Section, my apologies if this appears to be offensive. There is nothing wrong with being an idealist as long as one maintains perspective.

)
Does not Bill realize the absolute MESS the entire Middle East would be in if the US just pulled up stakes and left!??
Regardless of the wisdom of the Iraqi campaign (that can be debated in another thread if anyone has the desire. I can list a dozen good reasons for the campaign.. But I digress) the simple fact is, we are there, it's a mess and we need to clean it up.
Anyone who advocates unilateral retreat (Bring the troops home NOW!!!) from Iraq really needs to examine the consequences of such a rash and disasterous course of action.
