Where does this article imply that Obama says we do "not" have to win the war in Iraq? Why does talking about Afghanistan have to encompass talking about Iraq?

My guess is that he talks about winning in Afghanistan as being important is because such country was involved in the September 11th attacks and our being in Afghanistan is appropriate. I agree with him--we must win there.

Your question about why it's okay to lose in Iraq is just completely dishonest. Nowhere has he made such a statement.
