Cheney: "The war on terror is a lengthy enterprise, but it does not have to go on forever"

http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080522/NATION/11731699/1002

<snip>

Mr. Cheney, sporting a 10-gallon hat, said the troop surge in Iraq "has succeeded brilliantly."

"The war on terror is a lengthy enterprise, but it does not have to go on forever," he told more than 200 graduating cadets during the 127th commencement at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.

"The only way to lose this fight is to quit. That would be irresponsible," Mr. Cheney said. "More than that, quitting would be an act of betrayal and dishonor."

...

"I am absolutely convinced that we will succeed in the war on terror, and I'm also convinced that it will happen on your watch," he said.
