"Do you think we can win in Afghanistan?" Simple question right?

We're in trouble.., and what I hear is Obama talking through Secretary Gates here..
(Watch Hillary nodding her head in agreement)

Start the video at 1:57

Amanpour: "Secretary Gates, the majority of the American people believe that America can win in Afghanistan, do you think America can win in Afghanistan?"

Gates: "From the time I took this job I have tried both in Iraq and Afghanistan to avoid terms like winning and losing, because they become very loaded in our domestic debate, but they also become loaded around the world.

"I think the key thing is to establish what our objectives are, and can we achieve our objectives"

I hope the soldiers on the front line trying to WIN in Afghanistan don't hear the words of this fool...
