Mitt Romney's "Presidential Speeches in a Cuisinart" Speech

The other day, Mitt Romney gave a speech that borrowed a page from half-Governor Sarah Palin, by sounding like word salad.

President Obama's Speech on Afghanistan

You haven't seen much discussion of the war in Afghanistan here on the blog, quite frankly, because I don't get it. I try to understand what we're doing there, what "victory" would be, and what the goals are. But I just don't.
