President Barack Obama says he's uncomfortable using the word "victory" to describe the United States' goal in Afghanistan. He says the U.S. fight there is against broader terrorism and not a nation.
Obama said Thursday that the fight is not going to end with a country surrendering to the United States. The president says the fight is against al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations so that they cannot attack the country.
When Obama delivered a speech in March about his strategy on Afghanistan and Pakistan, he did not use the word "victory."
Obama spoke with ABC's "Nightline" while traveling to Ohio and Illinois.
