[edit] Doctrines
Particularly from the point of view that the Powell Doctrine advises having an Exit Strategy to PREVENT an 'unfavourable situation'[1], this article doesn't make much sense. Try Google for 'define:exit strategy' [2] and check out the disconnect between Wiki's definition and that which the rest of the world has.67.48.73.184 07:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- For starters, I hadn't noticed that the intro of the article had been clumsily mixed together with the new "interpersonal" definition, which shouldn't be at the top anyway. The intro should provide a concise and general definition that fits all three venues. That said, I don't quite see your point. Quagmire = unfavorable situation, don't you agree? Finally, glad you called that to our attention; the Powell Doctrine was probably one step where the term became more public. I don't think it became political jargon until Mogadishu, though. --Dhartung | Talk 08:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
