Let’s try a thought experiment. When I say “victory,” what do you think of? Do you think of winning the World Series? Do you picture that famous photo of the U.S. Sailor kissing the pretty girl in Time Square as WWII ended? Do you just imagine “winning” at whatever contest is at hand?
It is likely that even if you don’t picture a particular thing, at the very least your initial emotional response is a warm feeling of worthy accomplishment and an assumption of gaining the accolades that accompanies victory.
It is less likely that upon hearing or seeing the word “victory” an American would immediately get a feeling of defeat and humiliation or picture the end of anything. It is even less likely that a loathing would well up inside of the minds of an American when the word is broached.
Unfortunately, Barack Obama is not like average, patriotic, optimistic Americans. At least we can easily assume this to be the case by what President Obama recently said of our military efforts in Afghanistan.
You see, Barack Obama said on TV this week that “victory” isn’t his “goal” in Afghanistan. Why not...

Zer0 doesn’t need to know history, he’s a Constitutional Scholar.

Oh, he well knows American History. Bet.
Being a far left libtard and a socialist to boot, Barry blatantly attacks or ‘ignores’ historical facts under the auspices of revisionism.
Obama views America like any envious and resentful Third Worlder, with a healthy dose of black liberation theology according to Reverend Jeremiah Wright thrown in.
That’s how we got so screwed up in Vietnam, a war without a point.
"Barack Obama doesn’t see “victory” as a goal worthy of his American military efforts. Worse, his sympathies are with America’s enemies. This should be alarming news for everyone but al Qaeda and the Taliban."
0bama has now made it clear "who he really is" which is 180 degrees from who he campaigned as. The GOP needs to highlight stuff like this and take the gloves off.
Like peanut-butter... you know, invented by George Washington Carver. (The name George Washington being an obvious “old-white man”-style name.) [/sarc]
