"Succeed at all cost"!! Now where did that come from, it has never been "at all costs" effort, nor will it ever be. The long history of un-welcomed armies on foreign soil is they either absorb the locals or fail. That means that to succeed America needs to be in the business of Empire building and no one thinks that is a good idea (except 100 year McCain).
