Guess your breath will just have to be taken Henra.
Who's to say there isn't a plan - and an exit strategy.
I imagine the reason you can't find them is because they'e classified?
Will this sort of scenario have been wargamed to death at the Pentagon and elsewhere - I think so.
I think those making the decisions are well aware of what it may mean in cost of lives and (possibly) maimed servicemen.
Iraq looms large as an egregious, ****ty, cynical lie of a war - and I believe history will reveal that Bush went in there for no other reason than the fact that Saddam wanted to kill his daddy - not about oil or anything like that.
Blair followed because he is a card carrying narcissist.
So there - I don't have faith in all politicians.
This is different.
In this case quite happy to be called naive, armchair general or whatever.
Still believe it's the right thing to do.
