Just curious, how would actually define 'victory'? We talk a lot about it, but since Terror isn't a nation and can keep breeding from generation to generation... I'm having a hard concept of how to achieve victory. Of course that's how one wins, but how does one achieve it?
In Iraq, it will consist of a government that can maintain its own internal security.
Then, we will slog on to address the next festering sore. Iran. Or Syria. Or Somalia.
We're probably a generation away from achieving final victory over Jihadism. And Bush warned us it would be so from the very outset.
The day terrorists realize that killing an American isn't going to result in a bunch of liberals yelling that we need to stop hurting the poor old misunderstood terrorists and give them what they want. Either that or it becomes obvious liberals will never gain power. When either happens, Terrorists will realize their efforts are futile. In the meantime, the liberals reaction provides them much hope they will achieve their goals by continuing their terror.
