Obama: ‘Victory’ Not Necessarily Goal in Afghanistan

MORAN: I want to shift gears here. Afghanistan — this has been the deadliest month for American and NATO troops in Afghanistan ever.

Define victory in Afghanistan, or maybe that’s not the right word.

OBAMA: I’m always worried about using the word “victory” because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur.
