President Obama's decision to launch a series of military strikes against Libya raises a host of questions, many more than can be answered in his much-belated address to the American people tonight. At a minimum, the President must clarify the purpose and scope of the mission. He has declared that the sole object is to protect civilians from harm. Others in his administration, however, suggest that military operations will continue until Muammar Qaddafi leaves office. In fact, the two goals might be contradictory, as the need to protect civilians from violence could well extend long after Qadd...

But have you ever thought about your own personal exit strategies – the ones you use for giving up on your own personal projects, hopes and dreams? In most books about personal change and growth we are often told that our reasons for pressing ahead with our projects must be more important than our reasons for quitting. This is true. But when was the last time you examined the validity of your reasons FOR quitting? Why DO you give up? Is it because you are thoroughly defeated and cannot go on, broke...

According to Woodward, the president concluded from the start that “I have two years with the public on this.” He implored his advisers at one meeting, “I want an exit strategy,” and he set a withdrawal timetable because, “I can’t lose the whole Democratic Party.” It’s unfortunate that the policy debate over Afghanistan will be further spun into a left-vs.-right issue. After all, there are growing, if nascent, signs that some on the political right have reservations about our continued military involvem...

I mean your exit strategy from your EMR vendor. Here’s a story from one of my readers (company names removed): My former business, Vendor A, was stable and we had a customer base of over 600 sites. We thought we had a good linkup when Vendor B acquired us. They eventually raised prices, turned support time from hours to weeks, and started to lose customers. In my opinion they turned into a wrecking ball. I’m certain, as a business, they would argue they are stable. Stability ends up being in the eye of the beholder and the one who fills out the survey. My point is that none of us are really good at looking into future. We can measure any company about where they have been. But, as with a prospectus, past performance is not an indicator...

President Obama’s decision to include a withdrawal date in his speech sends a mixed message to allies and enemies about America’s commitment to the region. It is a misguided effort to placate the American public’s waning support for the mission. Obama should instead be looking for ways to leave Afghanistan, not excuses to dig us in deeper. Essentially, the strategy is to apply the Iraq mo...

But he has now made both of George Bush’s wars his wars. The Washington Post’s front-page analysis began, “President Obama assumed full ownership of the war in Afghanistan on Tuesday night…” The cover of the tabloid D.C. Express was even more blunt. Speaking of Iraq in February 2008, he said, “I opposed this war in 2002. I will bring this war to an end in 2009. It is time to bring our troops home.” Responding to Hillary Clinton’s criticisms in March 2008, he said, “I will bring this war to an end in 2009, so don’t be confused.” Now he is promising to end the Iraq war in 201...

Cato foreign policy experts have been following and analyzing the war since the beginning. Here’s a round up of their assessment thus far: Why we must narrow objectives in Afghanistan. Before implementing a new strategy, we must first define victory. Why the Afghanistan strategy does not require more troops. Once we have defined our objectives, we need to follow an exit strategy. Why Pakistan also plays a crucial role in this effort. In today’s podcast, foreign policy analyst Malou Innocent discusses the future of policy in the region.

How Obama’s protectionist policies are hurting the poor. More stifling of political speech. “Checks and balances” be damned: “In a democratic country, you’d think that before the executive branch could regulate CO2–a ubiquitous substance essential to life–the legislature would have to vote on the issue. But you’d be wrong.” Somewhere, Thomas Friedman is smiling. Podcast: Next week marks eight years since the U.S. invaded Afghanistan. It’s time to get out. Read the exit strategy.
