Kill UBL?
Exterminate the Taliban?
Contain the Taliban?
Convert the Taliban?
Bring "Democracy" to AF?
Drive Al Qaeda out of AF?
Destroy Al Qaeda?
Bring "peace" to AF?
Secure the Southern Pipeline?

What exactly is "victory" in AF? I wanted to ask Bush this question and I would like to ask Obama this question.

The thing is, they still don't think they have to define the goal of the war. The war IS the goal. After a decade of war it is kind of strange that there really is no clear goal outside the war itself, isn't it?
