Defeat is embraced through various forms of nuanced language, such as "end it," "honorable withdrawal" and "redeploy." Victory requires no ... (more) The audacity of victory. You have to want it.

Call It "The Audacity of Victory"
Wizbang — Over at The Tank on National Review Online , I expressed a few thoughts going forward as Michael Yon confidently called in from Iraq to say, "The war is over and we won." After noting that there are a lot of people - known and unknown to the public - who deserve measures of credit for the successful strategy that made victory possible, we dare not forget one important man amid all the criticisms, due and undue. But the fact remains that only President George W. Bush made or would have made the command decision he made. Only President George W. Bush, derided and vilified, had ...

But the drive for victory must remain constant; learning, adapting, lopping ...

Today is VI Day
neo-neocon — It’s pretty much “mission accomplished” in Iraq. But it’s a victory we’re not willing to openly claim. In another world and time, this war would have been lauded as one of the least brutal in history, although it was fought against some of the most brutal of opponents—Saddam Hussein, the insurgents, and al Qaeda. But thanks to our strange reluctance to credit that there is any good that can come from the horror of a war—or to realistically analyze what victory there might look like—this particular success is being ...
