A small point
By the way, the "exit strategy" is the same as it has been for every damn war we've had to fight and win in two hundred years. Keep beating on the bastards until they can't fight any more.
Hmm, wasn't there some kind of disturbance in one of those Asian countries in the late 60s, early 70s? Oh, all right, you said "war" and I don't think war was ever declared in that situation, was it?
