The strategy that dare not speak its name

It's called "cut and run" (or at least it was when a Democrat would put forward any ideas of this ik).

Highlights include:

"The situation in Iraq is grave and deteriorating."

"...a change in the primary mission of U.S. forces in Iraq that will enable the United States to begin to move its combat forces out of Iraq responsibly."

"The United States cannot achieve its goals in the Middle East unless it deals directly with the Arab-Israeli conflict and regional instability. There must be a renewed and sustained commitment by the United States to a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace..."

"By the first quarter of 2008, subject to unexpected developments in the security situation on the ground, all combat brigades not necessary for force protection could be out of Iraq."

Did they get paid for this? I certainly hope not. There doesn't appear to be anything in here that would qualify as "new" or "startling" to anyone outside of the White House.
