That's the problem: neither of us, and probably nobody, can say or quantify that. So to start earning some value we need to do a couple of things: (1.) We need to put together a military advisory team to analyze the regional situation out-of-the-box. No constraints, no group think. Facts. Where are we at? (2.) We need to put together a cultural advisory team. Where is the regional population at? (3.) We need to craft a coherent exit strategy - an actual plan. Not a surge, not a kill zone, not a security tactical plan, but a true evacuation strategy. That plan will likely look like Biden's plan and it will involve the World. Now we just need a leader capable facilitating the plan and aligning the World behind it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:255539 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
