Obama's Day of Infamy

Today is Dec. 7, the 68th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. I remember from reading my history how Franklin D. Roosevelt asked for a declaration of war against the Japanese and Germans and how FDR said the U.S. would settle for nothing short of total victory or withdraw all U.S. troops from the battlefield within 18 months. Oh, wait ... I got confused. That's Obama's strategy in Afghanistan. FDR didn't announce a date when WW II would end. Obama will end the war on July 2011, regardless if we defeat the Taliban or not. What is victory in Afghanistan? It's what Obama says it is.
