Peace for our time.

Two years ago, in a speech in Washington D.C., candidate Barack Obama stated, "It is time to turn the page. It is a time to write a new chapter in our response to 9/11....When I am president, we will wage the war that has to be won......getting out of Iraq and on to the right battlefield in Afghanistan and Pakistan." WE WILL WAGE THE WAR THAT HAS TO BE WON. Just yesterday, President Obama stated, that he was uncomfortable using the term "victory " to describe the goal in Afghanistan. So, while we are in a war that "has to be won" we aren't working for victory???????? So, Obama is Commander in Chief of a military that he has claimed that are in a war that "has to be won", but he is uncomfortable with using the term "victory" in describing the goal of that war. What the hell are we fighting for if it isn't victory? How can you put soldier's lives in danger if you aren't aiming for victory in this war? We are in a battle for our very survival with fundamental Islamofacists. We have been in this battle for the last 25 years. They want to see our way of life destroyed. And we have a Commander in Chief of our military that isn't concerned about victory.....isn't concerned about winning a war. Kind of reminds me of Neville Chamberlain announcing to great cheers in 1938, after he gave in to Hitler's claims on Czechoslovakia that we would have "peace for our time". Weaklings who exhibit no backbone about defending themselves and "winning" a contest, only invite more abuse. By claiming we aren't in Afghanistan for victory, we are only making the target on us bigger.
