The CSI at Leavenworth is actually the History Department, and I would further dispute the claim that Leavenworth is "the Army’s premier intellectual center".
If the Iraqis are going to virtually prohibit our participation in combat ops, seem unhappy with our presence at high levels, and we have accomplished our mission there, it may, in fact, be time to leave. I believe that we can do so with honor, and would not be seen as having quit the fight or lost faith.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
