Victory May Never Be Clear

From CTV:

OTTAWA -- There may never be a clear point of victory in Afghanistan, Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay said Monday while painting an optimistic picture of "extremely significant progress" in the war-ravaged country.

So, like, how do you define progress if you can't define victory? Progress towards nothing is mere motion.

My fave is when MacKay talked about protecting our 'national interests'. Other than the troops that are there because of this war, I can't think of any national interests we need to protect there!

In empire building there is no definable endpoint.
