The Ultimate Flip-Flop

Today George Bush admitted that, in his estimation, we will not be able to win the war on terrorism. So what do you think will be on The Daily Show tonight?

Here is a post on The Daily Kos:


The ultimate flip flop
by kos Tue Aug 31st, 2004 at 00:01:03 GMTThis one wins. Hands down.

Today
"Can we win?" the war on terror, Bush said, "I don't think you can win it.
September 12, 2001:
This battle will take time and resolve. But make no mistake about it: we will win.
Bush in 2002:
We will win, because of what we love. We will win because we're determined and strong. We will win because we're a nation which holds values dear to our heart. And we refuse to be intimidated by anybody, at any place, at any time. We will win because we want to uphold our duty and obligation to leave America intact and free, so future generations of people, Hispanic or otherwise, can realize dreams, can succeed, can realize their God-given talents. That's what this is all about.
Bush in 2003:
We will prevail. We will win because our cause is just. We will win because we will stay on the offensive. And we will win because you're part of the finest military ever assembled. And we will prevail because the Iraqis want their freedom.
Bush in April 2004:
We will win this test of wills, and overcome every challenge, because the cause of freedom and security is worth our struggle.

Well then. Bush has given up. His failed presidency has given us a failed hunt for Osama Bin Laden, a failed hunt for Mullah Omar, a failed hunt, and, now, a failed war on terrorism.
Since Bush can't finish this thing off, time to elect a president who will see us through this struggle. While we may disagree on Iraq, there is a real war against a real enemy. And while Bush may have dropped the ball on Al Qaida to wage his optional war against Saddam, Kerry won't.

The flip-flop rhetoric is so infuriating. Name-calling seems to be the order of the day. Where is the spirit of democracy? We need to get back to a government for all the people and not a government which tricks the people into standing for policies which are actually bad for them.
