"This is not the sort of struggle where you take a hill, plant the flag and go home to a victory parade... it's not war with a simple slogan," he said.
"We have got to get out of Iraq on our terms and win," Myers said to applause. "I don't want them bombing New Jersey."
He added that if the country didn't win in Iraq, "we will get hit here in the United States. And I don't want terrorists running around in New Jersey."
This however, was in contrast to his previous statements that we don't need to win, we just need to make it look that way:To summarize:
1. Chris Myers won't bring our troops home before we "win".
2. Chris Myers also thinks we don't need to "win", we just need to make it look that way.
3. General David Petraeus, the Commanding General of the Multi-National Force in Iraq says this isn't a war where you can declare victory and go home
That leaves me with these questions: What does Chris Myers know that Gen. Petraeus doesn't and then what does winning mean so that we can bring our troops home?
