War on Terror

We've heard the statement that "we will win the war on terror." What does that mean?

Considerations:
  • Do we mean "terror" (the emotion) or "terrorism" the method of conducting conflict?
  • How can "winning" be calculated -- incidences of violence, number of deaths, etc.
  • How are the War on Terror, the War in Iraq and the War in Afghanistan linked? Can they be separated; do they have different objectives.
