Spot on

as per his usual

Stephen Green of VodkaPundit fame has an outstanding mini-rant on so-called "exit strategies" that you must read. It makes great reference material for the next time some lefty moonbat starts whining ".....the war would be over if we just brought our troops home....." and is a common sense explaination of why announcing an exit date is a Bad.Idea. A smidgen to whet your appetite:

I'm not certain how you take the Will away from people who take their inspiration from God – but I'm pretty sure that, eventually, killing enough of them in large enough numbers would do the trick.

Good stuff, do go read.
