Former Cheney aide Mary Matalin demands Syria ‘exit strategy’ from Obama
Source: Raw Story
Mary Matalin, a Republican strategist and former advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney, on Sunday said that Americans had become “war wise” after the Iraq war and demanded that President Barack Obama produce an exit strategy before launching an attack on Syria.
During an ABC News panel discussion, Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan observed that the president had “turned the tables” by asking Congress for approval to take military action over Syria’s alleged use of chemical weapons on its own citizens.
“I think they didn’t have the support and the horror of Iraq still lingers over the United States and the world,” Democratic strategist James Carville explained. “And this will force attention, it will force them to bring the evidence, it will force the Congress. All in all, I think it’s a pretty good thing to do.”
Matalin, however, suggested that Obama had a cynical plan to “blame the Republicans for being obstructionists” if Congress refused to authorize military force.

Both her demand and my demand will be ignored.
Next.
I don't approve of any action in Syria but comments like this from that regime? 
after the Navy ships are done launching missiles, they turn the ships around and leave the area...
Don't flame me,
but if you understand what the President wants to do, then you know the exit strategy. There's no explanation needed to be given to Matalin. She should be smart enough to already know the answer.
That black face sure turned her world upside down. Meanwhile...
White House chief of staff Andrew Card forms the White House Iraq Group, or WHIG, which aims to “educate the public” about the alleged threat from Iraq. WHIG is formed concurrently with the Office of Special Plans (see September 2002). A senior official involved with the group will later describe it as “an internal working group, like many formed for priority issues, to make sure each part of the White House was fulfilling its responsibilities.” [Washington Post, 8/10/2003] According to White House deputy press secretary Scott McClellan, the WHIG is “set up in the summer of 2002 to coordinate the marketing of the [Iraq] war,” and will continue “as a strategic communications group after the invasion had toppled Saddam [Hussein]‘s regime.” McClellan, who will become a full-fledged member of the WHIG after rising to the position of senior press secretary, will write: “Some critics have suggested that sinister plans were discussed at the WHIG meetings to deliberately mislead the public. Not so. There were plenty of discussions about how to set the agenda and influence the narrative, but there was no conspiracy to intentionally deceive. Instead, there were straightforward discussions of communications strategies and messaging grounded in the familiar tactics of the permanent campaign.” [McClellan, 2008, pp. 142] Author Craig Unger will sum up the WHIG’s purpose up more bluntly: “to sell the war.” Members of the group include White House political advisers Karl Rove, Karen Hughes, [font size="4" color="red"]Mary Matalin[/font], James R. Wilkinson, and Nicholas E. Calio, and policy advisers led by National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, her deputy Stephen Hadley, and Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby. They meet weekly in the White House Situation Room. A “strategic communications” task force under the WHIG is charged with planning speeches and writing position papers.
