This administration has NO exit strategy for Iraq. Although they won't come out and say it directly, we can only get information from them in small pieces in press conferences and senate hearings. Yesterday, Sec. of State Rice told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee things that they did not want to hear.
According to the Associated Press, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051020/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_iraq_19 she 'declined on Wednesday to rule out American forces still being needed in Iraq a decade from now. Senators warned that the Bush administration must play it straight or risk losing public support for the war.'
