Money quote(s):
"Democrats are like the French in The Simpsons, for whom “victory” isn’t in their vocabulary, unless it applies to their domestic enemies."
Exiting (i.e., "retreating") as in "exit strategy" is not "winning."
As Chas. Sheen might add: DUH!
"To these people, wars are for “ending,” not “winning.” It was something that I and others noticed in the debates in 2008, but not enough others noticed. The funny thing is, I suspect that they even realize that we notice, but they just can’t bring themselves to use the word."
This speech defect is much older than merely 2008 vintage. I believe it was Sec. Rumsfeld who had a mini-tantrum where he spelled out that what was in fact appropriate was a "victory strategy."
