He said the war in Afghanistan is "unwinnable" and caught lots of flak for it, but RNC Chairman Michael Steele is correct. He may have arrived at this conclusion from a different path than I did, so here is my own thinking (since you asked):
To win a war, you must have an objective. When that objective is met, you have won. We refuse to define an objective, so we cannot win.
To win a war, you must declare an enemy. The war is won when the enemy is defeated. We refuse to name our enemy ("terror" doesn't count), so we cannot win.
Hence: the war in Afghanistan is unwinnable. Therefore we are sending our sons to a grist mill to profit the military-industrial complex. Are we not? Then pray tell me:
Why are we there?
