Who's a pessimist? According to Bushco, it's John Kerry, and all his crazy talk about creating jobs that don't pay $9K less than the ones lost, working to reduce the number of people without healthcare, construct a sustainable national energy policy, reduce the cost of college, and not piss off the rest of the world. But today, it was our dear leader who when asked if the war on terra can be won said, "I don't think you can win it."

Um, Kerry campaign? That one's served up nice and easy. If that doesn't find its way into a political ad, then you all really don't want to win.

What's that I hear? A flip-flop? What's that I smell? A waffle? From the Post article:
Last month in Pennsylvania, he said he had "a clear vision and a strategy to win the war on terror." In February, he said, "We're going to win the war on terror." During his now-famous speech aboard an aircraft carrier prematurely declaring the end of major combat operations in Iraq, Bush said: "The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless."
George, you're so funny!

On a somewhat less sarcastic note, I actually agree with the Shrubster on this one. We can't win a "war on terra." You can't win a war against a tactic. The whole idea of a "war on terra" is a false premise. War on drugs, war on poverty, war on war on war. As long as that's the paradigm we're working with, we'll be perpetually screwed.
