A deranged Bush says war on terror not winnable
(Associated Press, August 30, 2004)
The best way to deal with them is to bring them to justice in foreign lands before they hurt us again," Bush told the crowd crammed into a high school gym, drawing a lengthy standing ovation. "It means a full-scale offensive campaign ... and never yielding one inch to these people." . . . Earlier in the day, in an interview on NBC-TV's "Today" show that was broadcast to coincide with the start of the Republican National Convention in New York, Bush was asked "Can we win?" the war on terror. . . . "I don't think you can win it," he responded. "But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world." . . . "You cannot show weakness in this world today because the enemy will exploit that weakness," he said. . . . Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards seized on the comment. . . . "After months of listening to the Republicans base their campaign on their singular ability to win the war on terror, the president now says we can't win the war on terrorism," Edwards said. "This is no time to declare defeat."
