An action passed to another is an action completed.

That's probably doable, but I was thinking more like 2015.
This really shouldn't be a time based exit strategy as it needs to be an effect based exit strategy. We need to have stability and security, here. If we don't have that by 2009, then what?
We need to stay and finish this job. We owe it to the Iraqi people.

There is no exit strategy. Never was meant to be one.
The think tanks convinced the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other high powers, including the Bush administration, that the US and UK would have to go in and "secure" an area from which to stage future adventures in the oil-rich "stans."
If you want to read more, check the Foreign Policy journals and magazines, some dating as early as 1984 or 1985. And think about it. What are Russian, Pakistan, China, Iran, and India doing? What is going on in Kashmir? Afghanistan? Uzbekistan? Tibet? Nepal?
Give me a free hand in Iraq. I will win this war for America AND also for Islam. How? Do what the Normans did in Ireland in the medieval times. Become "more Irish than the Irish." That is to say, we learn and incorporate Iraqi, Kurdish, even Iranian ways, language, customs. We learn Islam and the ancient Christian traditions, some of which are of deeper and more genuine faith than our watered down "Christianity." We use our superior technologies and finances. We reach DEEP within ourselves, our collective American and Anglo-Irish and European and African and Native American consciousness, and we fight to WIN!
If we don't win this one there, we will be fighting more, closer and closer to home. You think I exaggerate? The enemy is closer than you think.

Send Bush to Iraq and put him in w/ the soldiers and he might work on that strategy a bit.

Exit Strategy? Are you kidding, do you think they spent 700 million dollars on an ambassy building just to leave it?
Do you really think Bush and Co. plan on leaving all that oil?

No I don't agree, by the time he realizes his strategery has been a failure, his successor will have been elected and he'll "stay the course" for those last months to make sure she gets the blame for the bloodbath

What's right is not always popular, and what' popular is not always right. I blame the fact that we elected someone who saw something that needed to be done, even if it wasn't going to be easy or popular, as opposed to someone who could ignore the problem and placate evil long enough to avoid having to do anything or accept any blame while he was in office.

That would involve thinking ahead and actually having a plan. How dare you accuse the President of being guilty (or even capable) of either of these?

He's already admitted that he's leaving it to the next poor schmuck who sits in the Oval Office to figure it all out.
