#1 Don't forget "USA get out of ASIA-PACIFIC" as well, ala NORTH KOREA. Full-scale geopol retreat and isolationism saved America from WW1 + WW2, and D*** NG it can save us from WW3/4??? BORDER FENCE > "WE HERE, THEY'RE THERE, WE WANT THEM OVER HERE"??? ARABIAS FOR ARABS, ASIA FOR ASIANS, D **** IT, ERGO THE CHICOMS WANT UP TO 1/2 OF CONUS-NORAM + ELIMINATE 200M OF 300M Americans = Amerikans, POLITELY BUT NECESSARILY OF COURSE. The Commies want big smiles + group hugs + waving hands on our group photos before we happily enter the gulags-death chambers.

#2 He is missing a bet, here. Instead of talking withdrawl, he should be talking about evolving from military involvement to economic development. That would be getting his cake and eating it, too.

By not stressing economic development, he puts himself in the same catagory as those who thrive on poverty: religious extremists, mafias and other organized crime, and warlords.

#3 Do the Pakiwakis have an exit strategy? I suggest we propose to exit Afgan when Pak does.

#4 "History is full of examples where we didn't focus too much on exit strategy," Aziz said

German, Japan. Tell me about it. American boots are still on the ground of two peaceful prosperous nations in the top 10 GDPs and per capita not driven by oil. Yep, that's a future you don't want.

#7 How about this strategy:
We march to the SSE until we hit water, destroying any Taliban, terrorists, or anyone who fights us.
