its not my job to set the parameters of victory, that is the job of the commander in chief. he tells the military what the conditions of victory are, and then tells the military to meet those conditions. and then he turns the military loose to let them decide how best to proceed.

the reason we have been there for 14 years is because none of our commander in chiefs has set the parameters of victory, and they both have micromanaged the wars like johnson and nixon did in the vietnam war, and like truman did in the korean war. perhaps what you need to do is crack open a history book and study it.
And because there is nothing there to win.
