I just saw a tape from the White House reacting to news of bin Laden's tape. Here are some quotes
- "We are taking the fight to the enemy"
- "We are working to advance freedom and democracy"
- "Al Qaeda are on the run"
- "We are winning"
Now, I think I heard these same words on September 12, 2001 and almost everyday since. OBL is still alive, still making threats, still carrying out attacks. We have lost 2,200 men. We have are spending 400+/- billion etc. so I need help with the last comment,
"WE ARE WINNING"
If possible, please advise how we know we are winning and how this is being measured.
