“I would put on record my conviction that Independence in fact would be a farce, if the British Troops are in India even for peace and order within or danger from without.” -- Mohandas Gandhi on occupation

Taking notice of the escalating deaths and military failure of the United States to subdue the Iraqi armed resistance after 32 months of a Hitlerian-like occupation, during which the Bush regime used every weapon imaginable except a nuclear bomb, imperialists across Europe and the United States began circulating a buzzword for a fictitious withdrawal from Iraq called, “exit strategy."

What is an exit strategy in the general sense? Is it a plan to withdraw forces while still under fire? Is it just a plan to just exit from an occupied place or country? If the United States wants to exit Iraq, why does it need a strategy? Would not a workable plan would be sufficient? Alternatively, what if the United States instead of seeking an “exit strategy” is actually is pondering a staying strategy?

So far, no one in the imperialist camp would be comfortable enough to answer these questions, and the debate on that nebulous “exit strategy" rests on a very solid colonialist assumption by the United States. This assumption posits that an American exit strategy means that “after completing the mission and the creation of so-called Iraqi democratic institutions, the U.S. would remain in Iraq to guarantee the nascent fragile Iraqi democracy.”
Effectively though, seeing that the United States of Kissinger, Halliburton, Bechtel, and war-making (“defense”) contractors is not enthusiastic or in a hurry to define in concrete terms what an “exit strategy” is, countless essayists of imperialism jumped to rescue the empire from a defeat that is shaping up faster than the occupation circles are able to cope with.
