Bush: Now we WILL win war on terror. ANOTHER chimp flop!

[Bluebear]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - President Bush said Tuesday "we will win" the war on terror, seeking to quell controversy and Democratic criticism over his earlier remark that victory may not be possible.

In a speech to the national convention of the American Legion, Bush said, "We meet today in a time of war for our country, a war we did not start yet one that we will win.

That statement differed from Bush's earlier comment, aired Monday in a pre-taped television interview, that "I don't think you can win" the war on terror. That had Democrats running for the cameras to criticize Bush for being defeatist and flip-flopping from previous predictions of victory.
---
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.

2. This is the mother of all flipflops. Rove must be tearing out his hair.

Oh wait he doesn't have any.

3. Wrong, George. Your daddy DID start this war long ago when he was funding

training and arming the same terrorists we are at war with today. Blame Daddy for both Bin Laden's terror efforts and for Hussein's dictatorship. He funded both.

Blame Daddy for working AGAINST John Kerry's efforts to shut down the funding of terrorism. Daddy Bush wanted BCCI and the funding of terrorism kept secret while sons like you and your cronies made your money off their dirty enterprises.

4. So Bush* is debating

himself. Now that would be an ad, * on one side saying it can't be won, * on the other side of the screen saying oh yes it can.

6. I guess we'll have to wait until Jon Stewart

points this out to the media that once again, Bush is a fuckup.

Can't any other media source piece together the two statements and arrive at the conclusion that Bush will say anything at anytime to save his ass?
