Now He tells Us

Something must have happened to George Bush since July 14th. At that time he said, "I have a clear vision and a strategy to win the war on terror." On April 13th, he said,"One of the interesting things people ask me is, 'Can you ever win the war on terror?' Of course you can."

What happened?

Monday Bush told Matt Lauer,

"I don't think you can win it."

Bush went on to say that he thinks "you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world." So now it is officially acknowledged that terror is a tool, not something against which war can be waged. Likewise, it would hard to wage war on bows and arrows or sling shots.

Scott McClellan tried to say that Bush's comments were not a departure from the policies now in effect. I would guess that Karl Rove has a big headache and acid indigestion by now.

This is what happens when George is let out in public to speak off the cuff. It will be fun to watch the debates.
