And the war in Afghanistan is an ideal too, not a war. It's apart of the "War on Terror", which is an intangible thing. It's impossible to win a war like that.

We have a specific person/group of people and a specific reason why we want them, with Afghanistan.

Dee, this is an ideal we are fighting, not a war. This ideal is all over the world, not just the Middle East. You cannot win an ideal.
We're fighting a war, they're fighting an ideal.

That's the thing though. We weren't going to destroy terrorism. We were going to Afghanistan after an organization that committed an act of war against us, and those who were harboring them.

But that organization is all over. There over here, too. What we're doing is equivalent to you trying to get rid of all the parasites on your body. Good luck trying.
