Per MSNBC: Secretary of State nominee Condoleezza Rice today told a room full of U.S. Senators that a U.S. exit strategy from Iraq is "directly proportional" to Iraq's ability to defend itself against terrorists after this month's elections.
When asked to quantify that timetable, Rice responded "We'll be out by uh...2042 or thereabouts."
This answer prompted several hundred thousand Army, Navy and Air Force reservists to cancel their Panama City, FL time share rental reservations for the indefinite future.
