When was the last time we actually had an exit strategy? |
|
Iraq? Viet Nam? Germany? When did we ever have -- or adhere to -- an exit strategy?

1. When Obama first mentioned the Public Option. |
|
his exit from that position was classic.

4. Exit strategies are old school. |
|
that kind of thinking means an end to something.
can't end the gravy train of wealth for corporations and the 1%, can we?
we. are. never. leaving.

5. We don't exit, we stay forever. |
|
Look at Japan, Germany, Korea. To us, war is an excuse for new military bases.

6. I prefer going into the ladies room, climbing out the window, |
|
and running across the parking lot.

7. The U.S ALWAYS has an exit strategy |
|
The exit strategy is always the same: defeat the enemy, then exit.
The problem is with America's enemies, who seldom allow themselves to be defeated.
The Germans were the last group to do so, if you don't count America's weekend-long military triumph in Granada.

The one that gave the Marines the line, "The Shores of Tripoli...".
