I think he should have said the word "victory" at least a dozen times and also done a victory dance at the end. A lot of Obama's critics gave him credit for delivering a pretty straight forward speech instead of revisiting the questionable reasons that we went into the conflict. Not many people are recognizing that he was delivering on one of his major campaign promises without gloating too much about it. The only jab he took was the monetary cost of the war. As parthian shots go, it was pretty tame.
