As the President considers possible strategies for Afghanistan, U.S. Representative Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI), who chairs the House Republican Policy Committee, took to the House floor last night to urge the President to chose victory:

The President is now faced with a momentous decision.  The decision is whether we shall have victory or we shall have defeat; a defeat which however disguised as a withdrawal or otherwise will be viewed by our enemies, our allies and the Afghan people as a defeat.
