How brave is it to NOT have an EXIT plan for Iraq?

Question

jasonzbtzl - what was the exit plan again?

Answer 1

It's not brave--it's STUPID!

Answer 2

Bravery and prudence are often seen as antithetical, but I don't believe they really are...


... though, I guess it depends on what an 'exit plan' means to you. If it's a contingency plan for how best to lose the war if it becomes unpopular, than not having one would show a certain amount of courage. If you mean a plan for how to procede with withdrawl after victory has been achieved and consolidated, then not having one is a minor logistical oversight.

Answer 3

Why aren't the "Where's the Exit Plan?" crowds coming up with an Exit Plan and getting the message out to the public?

Answer 4

Brave? What's 'brave' got to do with it?

And yet, in answer to your question, what makes you think that they don't? Just because neither you or Hillary have gotten a yellow sticky informing you of our plans and contingencies doesn't mean we don't. What makes you think that it is in our nation's best interests to inform you or her of these plans. Neither of you have a 'need to know' and frankly if you did, as history has demonstrated, you would share such plans with our enemies.

So, I ask you, how 'brave' is it to share our military plans and contingencies with our enemies? We've already shared far too much.

Answer 5

We know nothing of any plans in Iraq. To assume an exit plan hasn't been discussed and possibly finalized is ludicrous.

Answer 6

Explain the Democrat plan over the last 3 years of the war, and the future of the war.

Answer 7

It's completely stupid. On the other hand, these incompetent neocons want to control the oil coming from the middle east so they have no intentions to back off from that goal. They could care less about the loss of life.

Answer 8

When did we start letting the enemy know what are plans are ahead of time. WWI WWII we just kicked @ss and left after the job was done.

Answer 9

triteamdan - do you only ride a bike made from all metal including the tires? Also I suppose because of your stance on the evil oil companies, that you own nothing petroleum based, like:

All of these things are made from oil. As oil prices rise and supplies dwindle, substitutes will have to be found to replace them that are renewable and pollute as little as possible. (List from http://www.wolfatthedoor.org.uk/)
