Bush says we can't win the war on terror, but we CAN win the war on terror.

[jere7my]

Yesterday, Bush was asked about the war on terror in an interview, and replied, "I don't think we can win it."

This is obviously true, and lots of people said so when he declared the war on terror. However, today, in damage-control mode, he said, "We may never sit down at a peace table, but make no mistake about it, we are winning and we will win."

Talking with Rush Limbaugh, he added, "I probably needed to be more articulate."

Yes, well.

Nobody vote for Kerry, because he's a flip-flopper.

That's why Bush doesn't flip-flop: He rarely gets it right the first time.

... and just now, Karl Rove (speaking to Peter Jennings) said "He has always said we will win the war on terror". Of course, that's not Bush himself talking, just the man who earlier in the same interview said he had absolutely no influence whatsoever over the President's campaign strategy. Uh-huh.

Hate them. We hates them all.

Neither candidate is a man of particularly great personal integrity, nor does either man possess much of a powerful or consistent vision. Because neither man is really a leader, or really a thinker, or really anyone's boss. Both are essentially mouthpieces for big, ponderous party machineries that go through extremely complex games with the essential goal of surviving and retaining power (accomplished through the agglomeration and modification of mutable political agendas). They're puppets whose strings are pulled by great big selfish committees fighting over the controls; what do you expect from them *but* a lot of herky-jerky movement?

Such is the face of politics today, sigh.
