Our mission continues, and we will see it through to victory. We have a strategy to defeat our terrorist enemy, and a plan to help establish lasting freedom in Iraq. The stakes are high, and they are clear.
What does "stakes" mean?" Help please. |

In this example, "stakes" (or singular "stake") is a gambling term. It refers to both what you are risking or what you are trying to win. |
