The only people putting timelines to this is people trying to convince others they're right, that THEY ALONE have it ALL figured out. That THEY ALONE have the inside info. Just another distraction.

The American Revolution lasted, officially, 19 yrs. 19!!! Open warfare lasted 7+. Washington started as a middle aged man and was an old man when he left office. And he NEVER QUIT. He faced traitors amongst his midst, one being a good friend before turning. He faced mutiny at one point and had near countless deserters to deal with. Lack of food/supplies/funding during one of the harshest fall & winter period in American History almost destroyed what was left of his Army before he managed to eke out any real significant victory. It was right before his corssing of the Delaware when this all was taking place. Yet, he NEVER QUIT. His darkest hours eventually led to his brightest achievements.

THAT'S what the significance of that portrait is. You've seen it. It's not that we've crossed it. We haven't. It's about continuing the fight, no matter how bad it may look or feel. No matter how beaten and bloddied you are. You continue on. Eventually, we win. Why? Because THAT'S "the Plan." There's no timeline on that. We continue...UNTIL...WE...WIN.
