You mean THAT exit strategy???

Over the last couple of weeks, we have heard numerous Democrats come to the floor of the House and the Senate and decry the "lack of exit strategy" coming from the Bush White House. I wonder, though if they aren't looking in the wrong place for an "exit strategy"....I would think that if one wanted to know when we were planning on leaving Iraq, you would ask the Iraqi government...

"There has been much talk about a withdrawal of U.S. and coalition troops from Iraq, but no defined timeline has yet been set. There is, however, an unofficial "road map" to foreign troop reductions that will eventually lead to total withdrawal of U.S. troops. This road map is based not just on a series of dates but, more important, on the achievement of set objectives for restoring security in Iraq."

Well lookey here Mabel....we have an exit strategy after all!!!!!

"Iraq has a total of 18 governorates, which are at differing stages in terms of security. Each will eventually take control of its own security situation, barring a major crisis. But before this happens, each governorate will have to meet stringent minimum requirements as a condition of being granted control... All the governors have been notified and briefed on the end objective...Iraq's ambition is to have full control of the country by the end of 2008. In practice this will mean a significant foreign troop reduction. We envisage the U.S. troop presence by year's end to be under 100,000, with most of the remaining troops to return home by the end of 2007."

Darn it....another Dem talking point shot full of holes. At this rate they will have nothing left to campaign on. Well, maybe they can come out with a version 3.0 of their agenda.
