"5. Win. You expect immediate results which is the typical short-term view many have. The winds of change in the Middle East will come slowly, but they will come. And we have introduced a wedge to start that."

I like that. A win in this situation is not a single accomplishment like defeating Saddam's Regime, which happened long ago, or the many accomplishments that have followed that event. It is the lamp of freedom that has been lit and will continue to effect the world as time passes, hopefully burning ever brighter with each passing day. "Winds of Change": A win is being able to continue in our ongoing struggle to guide the vessel of freedom, as if sailing through some turbulent winds and managing to stay the course.

I remain disheartened today that we have not heard an official spokesperson responding to the challenge to explain the noble cause for which our country and its soldiers have sacrificed so much. I hope it is not too late but this appears to be a dropping of the ball to me.
