Last night I heard bits and pieces of some Democratic pundit calmly insulting Dubya. Standard fare. He then mentioned something about Bush not having a plan for getting us out of Iraq, something I’ve heard almost daily since the fighting began.
Exit plans are for losers.
We had an exit plan for Vietnam. That certainly worked out well.
You go into a fight to win. If you do otherwise, you lose. Once you’ve won, you don’t need an exit plan. You walk away. That’s what we are doing right now in both Afghanistan and Iraq–setting up the circumstances so we can let them handle things on their own. Once that is done, we have won.
Please, please, someone ask one of these morons to answer in perfect 20/20 hindsight what the exit plan was for World War II, Korea, Kosovo.
Kerry has lots of plans. That sounds very forward-looking. Does he have an exit plan?
It makes you wonder if these guys even know that we still have bases in both Japan and Germany! They like to keep repeating the same lies and falsehoods so eventually folks assume they’re true.

Kerry has a lot of plans…but we all know how long a plan survives the first contact. One of Murphy’s laws of combat.
It just shows what kind of a leader Kerry would make. He’s a pessimist and would never be commital about anything unless the entire world backed him….and even then he wouldn’t have the fortitude to go all the way with it.
Guys like him NEED exit strategies.

Of course Kerry has an exit plan! It’s called “surrender”

What you need to win is not an exit plan, but an objective.
And we have one: a free, democratic, stable Iraq.
