What is the Obama administration US exit plan for Libya?

Ask me a year from now. We'll still be 'involved' with some sort of nation building. And you don't think the al-Qaeda types in Libya will take it laying down if they don't get their way do you. So we'll have another hot spot to babysit.

But in the short term Obama will continue to do what he's done in Iraq. Play word games. Remember when he announced 'combat operations' had ended.. he simply dropped the (C) from the unit designations. Same people, same equipment, same basic mission. Just with a new name.

And remember "This is not a war" in Libya lol.

I think the more important question is what is the goal and how do we accomplish it.

A plan for victory not for retreat.

Setting arbitrary dates of withdrawal as we did in Iraq and Afghanistan sends the wrong message to the enemy, the people we are there to assist, and to the soldiers we ask to risk their lives for the cause. It is an action taken by those that hold poll numbers above the success of the mission. It hamstrings the troops from the start and emboldens the enemy while sowing distrust among the populace we are there to assist.

If the Police were planning to stop gang violence in a high crime area of a city, would they announce their plan to patrol the neighborhood for two weeks and leave? If the people living there knew that in two weeks they would be deserted, would they be likely to publicly turn against and turn in gang members if they knew they would face retribution from the gangs when the Police left? Wouldn't the gang members just lay low for the two week period, noting who cooperated with the Police? Would the Police feel it was a waste of time, motivated by some political pressure and not an honest attempt to achieve lasting results to benefit the community?

Plan for victory not defeat, or do not put our soldiers in harms way to start with.

USA is involved in a deep project of chopping down the Islamic threat and dealing with petroleum, soil and water on the way. What exit are we talking about? The show has just started. Such is the modus vivendi.

What !? He has no plans for anything, has no IDEA of how to administer diddly for that matter... just a plan to become the ultimate one world leader and screw the US like so many other undocumented persons in the borders of America...

next ?

His teleprompter cued him to say the exit is connected to "hastening the day Qadhaffi leaves power".

I don't think he has one a the moment. We are there to protect the Libyan civilians, and I don't think we will leave until we know they will be safe.
