I must admit to being an absolute idiot as I always thought our military goals had always been victory. What we got, as Bob Schieffer put it so well, makes no sense. Best analogy I have heard so far is it was like a football coach announcing the team will vacate the field at the end of the first half and not come back out in the second half. Scathing review in Der Spiegel, tortured explanations from the talking heads in the government media. Consensus is that he has proposed something that no President has ever done before. Why? Because it makes no frigging sense and is profoundly stupid. The guys is a man-child that is sadly in a very important position.

On a side note, did you hear that the Commander of Cadets had to come out and admonish the students to clap when the Messiah came into the room. Absolutely amazing.......and sad....
