The Secretary of Defense is looking for an exit strategy of his own.

"It seems like somewhere there in 2011 is a logical opportunity to hand off," he told Foreign Policy magazine.

The 66-year-old indicated that would be the best time for him to step down to make things easier on President Obama during the 2012 election.
Yeah sure I believe that !
