I think we should use the same "exit strategy" that ended the war in Vietnam.

It turned out to be the only strategy that actually worked!

We exited from Vietnam.

All U.S. troops left Vietnam which gave the Vietnamese people the opportunity to run their country for the first time.

Exiting as an "exit strategy" .... what a novel idea!

2. Yeah, I bet you're just THIRSTING for the "helicopter on the roof of the embassy" anarchic bug-out
image.

Sorry, don't think we're going to be able to accomodate your defeato-masochistic urges this time. Too bad, so sad! :hi:

6. I'd like to see a calm, organized withdrawl rather than a panicky flight

And you want to win the war against Iraq and Afghanistan?

It won't happen.

5. IMO, this is the clean up. (exit) That date begins the draw down
Our soldier swho are there now will be the first groups.
Depending on circumstances on the ground, the groups will
be moved out gradually. Things are good--faster paced.
Things not so good, slower paced. I posted this yesterday.
