'''Vets for Freedom''' (VFF), which as recently as September 2007 declared itself the "leading voice representing troops and veterans from [[Iraq]] and [[Afghanistan]]."<ref>[http://www.vetsforfreedom.org/about/ About], Vets for Freedom, accessed September 1, 2007.</ref>, on July 10, 2007, resumed its pro-[[Bush administration]], pro-[[war in Iraq]] political activities by launching its "<u>Win</u> the War! Victory in Iraq" campaign, stating that the "next ten weeks will be absolutely crucial in determining the fate of the Iraq War."<ref>[http://www.vetsforfreedom.org/tenweeks/ "10 Weeks to Testimony,"] Vets for Freedom, July 10, 2007.</ref><ref>[http://dadmanly.blogspot.com/2007/07/call-to-action.html "Call to Action,"] ''Dadmanly'' Blogspot, July 10, 2007.</ref><ref>[http://swacgirl.blogspot.com/2007/07/vets-for-freedom-win-war.html "Vets for Freedom...

:Since, in his September 13, 2007, address to the nation, President [[George W. Bush]] appears to have dropped "victory" from his goals for Iraq, and has substituted "success" in its place,<ref>[http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-assess14sep14,0,133758.story?coll=la-home-center "Bush redefines 'victory',"] ''Los Angeles Times'', September 14, 2007.</ref> will Vets for Freedom now rename its pro-victory in Iraq campaign "<u>Win</u> the War! Success in Iraq"?
VFF communicates its slogan in military terms: "Mobilizing veterans to communicate America's strategic objectives in Iraq and Afghanistan."<ref>[http://www.vetsforfreedom.org Vets for Freedom website.]</ref>
