"I will do what the generals believe we need to do without having any chilling effect as the President put in place by firing General Shinseki. And I'll have to wait until January 20th. I don't know what I'm going to find on January 20th, the way the President is going. If the President just does more of the same every day and it continues to deteriorate, I may be handed Lebanon, figuratively speaking. Now, I just don't know. I can't tell you. What I'll tell you is, I have a plan. "
Funny. He doesn't know what he will find. It may be another figurative Lebanon (whatever that means) but he has a plan!!
