Good news imo. I know many will see it as a political move, but we need international support, and this is a step in the right direction.

this is a clear exit strategy?  

isn't Korea a sovereign nation, under its own control?  how long have we been there?

I'll be impressed when I see a concrete date for the last American GI to step onto a plane out of that country.

that's an exit stratagy,  exit has to do with leaving, not who is in control.

Wrong anology, we are in Korea at the request of the Korean goverment, not as occupiers.  No doubt we will maintain a presence in Iraq, at the request of the Iraqui goverment.

if we don't leave it's not an exit, it's a transfer of power.

exit- (noun) departure, egress, outlet, way out,....

if the plan doesn't include a date when we leave, its a transfer of power stratagy not an exit stratagy.  2 completely different subjects.
