Today's Philosophy Question: How much time can go by of not obtaining success before it turns into a failure?

A White House Homeland Security Advisor Fran Townsend told CNN that not capturing Osama bin Laden is a success that has not occurred yet and let's not call it a failure because the success part just has not happened yet. Duh.

HENRY: You know, going back to September 2001, the president said, dead or alive, we're going to get him. Still don't have him. I know you are saying there's successes on the war on terror, and there have been. That's a failure.
TOWNSEND: Well, I'm not sure -- it's a success that hasn't occurred yet. I don't know that I view that as a failure.
