Bush claims that his plan for victory was written by the NSC. Well, technically, that's true but in reality it's another big lie.

It was drafted by Peter Feaver, a political scientist from Duke University. Feaver polled a lot of Americans and found out that they would support the war if they thought it could be won. So, the NSC hired him to write the plan which is called The National Strategy for Victory in Iraq and contains the word "victory" in every other line. In Bush's speech, he used the word "victory" 15 times and the republican echo chamber has been using it every chance they get ever since.
