Joe Galloway on the magic words for exiting Iraq


From Iraq sinks deeper into utter confusion by Joe Galloway, McClatchy Newspapers 11/29/06:

We can only hope that the Pentagon - famous for groaning shelves laden with contingency plans for everything from an invasion of Tierra del Fuego to pre-emptive strikes against Iran and North Korea - has a plan for a fighting retreat from a hostile nation where both sides of a civil war take a break from killing one another to concentrate on killing us.

You can be sure that if such a plan does exist, a "fighting retreat" will be called a victory parade or a retrograde movement intended to restore peace in our time.

Or maybe just "Mission Accomplished, Part II."
