"Victory Is NOT the Goal"

“VICTORY IS NOT THE GOAL”: That’s what Obama says about Afghanistan and, I presume, Iraq. Which leads to the logical question, “What IS the goal? Defeat?” It certainly was during the election campaign. Is it still? What else could BE “the goal” when you’re in a war with people who want to kill you because you don’t believe the same way they do? I’ll ask again; what is this man SMOKING? He can’t be stupid enough to think there is any OTHER goal in a war but victory. The more he talks, the more he reveals his complete IGNORANCE of logic and the real world. They should really keep him away from a microphone because that’s where he reveals his abysmal IGNORANCE the most. I’ve seen presidents with whom I disagreed before (Clinton and Carter come to mind) but never one showing this much stupidity. (Just common sense)
