Exit Strategy’s For US Wars

Since congress continues to demand an exit strategy for Iraq we decided to list the exit strategies for all of the wars the United States Of America has been involved in, well the ones we know.

American Revolution – no exit strategy – strategy = win.
Various wars with the Native American’s east of the Mississippi river – no exit strategy – strategy = win.
War of 1812 - no exit strategy – strategy = win.
Various wars with Native Americans in the south east - no exit strategy – strategy = win
War with Mexico - no exit strategy – strategy = win.
Various wars with Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest - no exit strategy – strategy = win.
1859 War with Great Briton known as the “Pig War” no exit strategy – strategy = win (arbitrated by the Keiser 1872).
War Between The States ending 1864 - no exit strategy – strategy = win (first war in which rebuilding was done but the idea didn’t happen until after the declared end of the war.).
Various wars with Native Americans - no exit strategy – strategy = win.
Spanish American War 1888 - no exit strategy – strategy = win (rebuilding was done after the war ended).
WWI 1917-1918 no exit strategy – strategy = win (no rebuilding contemplated).
Various police actions in Asia and Latin America - no exit strategy – strategy = win (includes the Boxer Rebellion).
WWII 1941-1945 no exit strategy – strategy = win (Marshall Plan was done in the last days of the war but it is a rebuilding plan).
Korean War - no exit strategy – strategy = win (technically the war still goes on).
Bay of Pigs - no exit strategy – strategy = win (we abandoned the Cuban troops that were trying to regain control of their country form Castro).
Viet Nam War - no exit strategy – strategy = win (we just walked away and turned a blind eye to the 2.4 million people that the North Viet Nam government murdered).
Various police actions ion Latin America - no exit strategy – strategy = win.
Grenada - no exit strategy – strategy = win.
First Gulf War - no exit strategy – strategy = win.
Afghanistan War - no exit strategy – strategy = win.
Second Gulf War - no exit strategy – strategy = win (Congress demands an exit plan which would make this the very first war to have on).

So it would appear that there isn’t a history of exit plans in the wars we have been involved in. If we produce one then the terrorists win.

That’s how we see it.
