Poll question: President Bush said we couldn't win the war on terror?
Edited on Tue Oct-24-06 10:57 AM by originalpckelly
"Those statements differed from Bush’s earlier comment to NBC News that “I don’t think you can win” the war on terror. "But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world.”

That segment of a longer NBC interview with the president ran Monday on the "Today" show.

Bush’s comment — and the ensuing criticism — took attention away from the carefully crafted image of Bush being broadcast from the Republican National Convention in New York as a decisive wartime commander in chief who is securing America’s safety and sure of the course on which he has set the nation."

How does it make you feel to know he said we couldn't win?

This is from 2004, he later recanted for the obvious reasons.

5. Dear Leader does not to win the war, merely to STAY at war ...
As long as we are "at war" our Right Wing Executive Branch can rule the entire government.

That's why, a la 1984, they keep emphasizing that it's LONG and HARD (repeat ad nausea).

As long as we are frightened and at war, all is beautiful with BushWorld. :(

7. 1000 percent right
The Nazi-esque thinking seems to be that he can look like a hero (to himself) if he is a war president. I keep (shudder) thnking he will try to put a law in that would allow a president to remain in office as long as a war is going on!!! (Now, if only he were a president!)

6. If we can win the WOT, we can win the War on Christmas
They are equally illusory.
