The Plan: More Bloodshed and Expense

The man known to some as General Betray-us and to others as a God who walks the earth is back in front of Congress this week. From Democracy Arsenal:

Petraeus and [Ambassador] Crocker have no problems projecting out the potential implications of leaving Iraq - but they refuse to make projections of what staying will look like. That double standard is absurd. Is there a strategic plan for our presence in Iraq? If so what? The answer is pretty clearly no. They have no end game. There is no exit strategy. The Bush/McCain/Petraeus/Crocker plan is simply to stay and to stay a very very long time in the hopes that things slowly get better.
