Iraq - U.S. Has No Exit Strategy for Iraq, Rumsfeld Says

That's the misleading headline in this Bloomberg report.

Why misleading? Because here is what Rumsfeld said:

``We don't have an exit strategy, we have a victory strategy,'' Rumsfeld told soldiers during a surprise visit to Baghdad, according to a pooled broadcast report from the capital. ``The goal is to help the Iraqi Forces develop the skills and the capacity to provide their own security.''

Bloomberg provides this handy bit of information at the end.
