Based on several things I've read, whomever talks to Bush last in private, be it Cheney or Rice, that is the way he goes. He doesn't know how to define victory, it's just a really cool word to him.

We cannot survive another 2 years of this mentality. Not just our troops in Iraq, but domestically as well.

I think it will have to do with more curtailment of our freedoms, such as censorship of the Internet.

Congress can try the bipartisanship path, but they better keep sharp eyes out for that hand Bushco have in the cookie jar.
