...honorable political strategy: if you are clever, you can upend your opponent by leveraging the force of his own assertions. But these are not clever times in Washington. The President has taken to the manic repetition of the word victory, apparently on the advice of a Duke University professor, Peter Feaver, a new addition to the National Security Council staff.
