The White House War With Iraq - Still No Plan

Eric Edelman

Apparently "the kind of thinking that we need to do and be prepared
for whatever it's going to look like two months from now" includes
everything except any kind of plan to get the troops out of Iraq
safely. Recently Sen. Hillary Clinton wrote a letter to the Pentagon
asking whether plans had been drawn up to withdraw troops when that
becomes necessary. In response Clinton received a tart letter from
Undersecretary of Defense Eric Edelman, who incidentally used to be an
aide to *** Cheney and who once had a room "festooned with Cheney
photos." (That's right.)

Edelman snapped, "Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of
U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United
States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to
have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia."

So, you don't have a plan then. Why didn't you just say that?
