Iraq War: Exit Strategy?

Posted by Eric at 12:18 pm. Filed under: War / Terrorism

Jay has a great post over at Wizbang today. Go check it out.

There are two ways of measuring the completion of a task: by time, and by action. A lot of Democrats wish to define the end of the Iraq war by a calendar — so many troops out by such a time, more by a later date, complete withdrawal by a third, and the like.

But I don’t think this is one of those tasks that can be measured that way. I think that President Bush intends it to be one of the latter — to be determined by events, not time — and I think he’s right.

The only advantage a calendar-based approach is to tell the enemy just how long they have to hang on until we leave and let them win by default. And I don’t think that is such a great idea.
