The price of victory is only steep until you compare it to the cost of not achieving victory.

The price of victory is only steep until you compare it to the cost of not achieving victory.

Or you compare it to more efficient means of achieving victory.

It's a shame it took so long for President Bush to change strategy and get the surge going.

I wonder what will happen

• after Mookie's cease fire ends
• after we pull out

That is, are the enemies just biding their time, or will the changes really take hold.
