Clearly Dean has no confidence in the ability of our brave troops, even if he disagrees with the way the administration is conducting the war.

The administration itself has already defined its objectives for victory in Iraq as a successful hand-over to the Iraqi military and security forces which will carry on the fight against insurgency. The administration has warned that the fight in Iraq may take years - perhaps go into the next decade. do the math : A military victory is not in the cards any time soon.
In other words, victory for the American troops, henceforth, depends more than anything else on the Iraqis' successful undertakinbg of the counter-insurgency war. Some victory objective!
On an individual level, I guess, victory for the soldier means staying alive until they United States hands over the whole wretched mess to the natives and gets the hell out of Dodge.
Or haven't you heard ?
