Is it wrong to ask for an "Exit Strategy"?
Why did the Republicans discard the "Powell Doctrine"? You know the one where American troops come first. Never invade unless we use overwhelming force and with a plan intact for an prompt exit after the Mission is Accomplished. This was flaunted about as gospel during Kosovo where not a single US soldier was killed. What happened to it and why shouldn't it be asked about? Oh ya that's right "9-11 changed everything" Now I remember.

1. bush and his party members know
that there supporters do not care if our kids die in war. And bush and his party members not care what their detractors think. The only thing that concerns bush is democrats getting subpoena power.

2. There's no such thing as the "Powell Doctrine."
That is a made-up term by republicans to make Powell seem like some kind of military genius. The correct term is the Grant Doctrine. Since the Civil War, the doctrine of overwhelming force has been known as the Grant Doctrine. The neocons started rewriting history and came up with the Powell Doctrine. LMAO. Powell is a buffoon.

The asshole traitor republicans want neverending war for corporate profits. It will take We The People to get us the hell out of that shithole because our "opposition" party is too busy sucking up and tslking about "finishing the job."

Remember how thwe republicans HOWLED about Clinton getting us into Kosovo and SCREAMED about the exit strategy. They weren't making money off that war I guess.
