What a world what a world. I guess once you've declared you'll prevail, you can claim victory even in absolute defeat.

1. And What Are We Fighting?
When you change the objective, how can you not win? What an embarrassment we are in the world.

4. Yes, you declare you'll prevail in a 'war' without an defined enemy or
a defined objective! Then you pat yourself on the back for the 'fine' work you're doing, carrying out American tradition.

The United States is suffering from mass insanity!!

8.  That's where Custer made his mistake in similar circumstances.
He didn't get congress to pass a law before he surrounded those Indians.

10. He should've declared beforehand that he was going to prevail
Then he'd have prevailed by decree, I guess.
