Why Doesn't He Discuss 'Victory' in Afghanistan?

Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama will outline for the public tomorrow the cost of his new strategy in Afghanistan and the limits on U.S. involvement there, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said.

Obama last night ordered his military commanders to begin carrying out his plan, which he’ll announce in an address from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York.

“You will hear the president discuss clearly that this is not open-ended,” Gibbs said. “This is about what has to be done in order to ensure that the Afghans can assume the responsibility of securing their country.”
