To die for an exit strategy

In the past few days, the White House has made it clear that the president wants specific exit strategies for all his Afghan war options. That brought to mind the advice almost a century ago of an American geopolitician describing the only exit strategy worth considering:

Over there, over there

Send the word, send the word,

Over there

That the Yanks are coming,

The Yanks are coming,

The drums rum tumming every

where

So prepare,

Say a prayer

Send the word,

Send the word to beware

We’ll be over, we’re coming over.

And we won’t be back till it’s

over over there!
