 Foreign Affairs - The Exit Strategy Delusion - Gideon Rose
Exit strategies harm a mission's chances of success, and had they been required the United States would not have defended the armistice after the Korean War, kept the peace on the Sinai Peninsula after Camp David, or undertaken NATO.
But the idea of a formal exit strategy, with its anti-interventionist bias and stress on rigid public planning, is misguided in theory and unhelpful in practice.
As for limitation, Bosnia was supposed to be the poster child for Lake's exit strategy doctrine, the place where tough love would force the wayward locals to see the error of their ways or be left to their sorry fate.

Arguments for and against the U.S. troop presence in Iraq assume that having an "exit strategy" is a fundamental military principle.

 Exit Strategy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Thus, there is no economic or social justification to hold unto an asset that is losing value.  Consequently, the planned exit strategy business focuses on defining the conditions that will trigger an exit so that investors, especially founding investors, are able to achieve the maximum rewards for their patience.
The exit may be a sale to a competitor or a new entrant into the industry, or it could be transforming the business structure by taking it public through an initial public offering (IPO).
The objective of the exit strategy is maximizing investors’ wealth and the adopted strategy must focus on achieving this objective.

 EXIT STRATEGY FOR LAWYERS
The exiting lawyer must identify all client matters and take an adequate amount of time to accomplish the activities that follow so that lawyer leaves without causing any material adverse effect on any client interest.
This means that the exiting lawyer must take whatever steps are necessary to protect the client’s interests until an adequate amount of time has elapsed for the client to secure new counsel after the client has received notice of the lawyer’s plan to terminate the representation.
Lawyers who include these steps as part of an exit strategy will be able to enjoy the next adventure with less concern that something from the days of private practice will come back to bother them.

 Whiskey Bar: Exit Strategy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
My guess is that the decision to launch Operation Scapegoat was based, at least in part, on a hardheaded calculation by Rove (although maybe not the meathead he works for) that Social Security reform is effectively dead, leaving only the question of how to position the GOP for the inevitable fallout.
The Rovian strategy, it appears, is to try to label the Democrats as "obstructionists." It's pretty a weak line, given the complete lack of a popular groundswell of support for trashing the existing Social Security system, but it at least keeps the GOP on the offensive, which is where Rove always wants to be.
Rove must be aware of that, which in turn must mean he's content to remain in campaign mode -- feeding a steady diet of red meat to the base and vicious lies to the public -- until November 2006.

 Exit Strategy: Within Reach? by Kevin B. Zeese
The pressure for an exit strategy in Iraq is mounting.
Robert Novak, the columnist who fingered Valerie Plume as a CIA agent, wrote on March 28 that there is a "determination in the Bush administration to begin irreversible withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq this year." A leaked Downing Street document reports this week on planning for a massive troop reduction next year.
Obviously, an exit from Iraq is not imminent or guaranteed, and we cannot be fooled by a partial withdrawal just before next year's election — but it is evident that momentum is switching and the antiwar movement is building at an opportune time.

 Documenting the Exit Strategy in Your Business Plan
All investors greatly desire and are motivated by a clear picture of a company's exit strategy, or the timing and method through which they can "cash in" on their investment.

If acquisition is the selected exit path, then the business plan should detail potential companies that might want to acquire the firm in the future and why.

Congressional debate finally has turned to an exit strategy from Iraq after an interminable period of dominance by proponents of war and occupation, as a result of the Sept. 15 hearing on withdrawal chaired by Rep. Lynn Woolsey.
In this context, the Woolsey exit strategy hearing was an awakening from dormancy, a challenge to party leaders, and revealing of new perspectives and the outlines of a possible alternative to Administration policy.
Proposals 1, 3, 4, and 5 closely overlap the proposals made in the exit strategy petition, which was presented with 25,000 signatures at the hearing.

 Iraq: An Exit Strategy- by Justin Raimondo
obert Novak told us last year that the U.S. was headed for a "quick exit" from Iraq — and in a recent column he's holding to this prediction, crowing that he was right about Condoleezza Rice ascending to the State Department, and her deputy Stephen Hadley taking her place as national security adviser.
To the extent that training records can be uncovered in the muddle of conflicting reports, the chronicle of the past eighteen months raises grave doubts about the strategy's hope of success.
It won't happen, however, unless the influence of the neoconservatives in this administration is radically rolled back, and the White House's vague exit strategy assumes a more concrete — and less contingent — form.
