That's why I see it as a positive sign. Obama just declared a definition of victory that we've arguably met already. That means he can justify leaving sooner to Congress and the public. Pretty smart, huh? It's what I would do if I were trying to get out now. If he named a more difficult, long-term goal then I'd be concerned that he was trying to keep us there.

Yes, I realize the reasons this war was started, and I'm also aware that it's a war Obama did not choose. Isn't it possible that he's is trying to make the imperial empire a little less deadly and overtly damaging to the rest of the world? Just a little?
