'In his memoirs, "A World Transformed," written five years ago, George Bush Sr. wrote the following to explain why he didn't go after Saddam Hussein at the end of the Gulf War.
"Trying to eliminate Saddam...would have incurred incalculable human
and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible.... We
would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq....
There was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of
our principles. Furthermore, we had been consciously trying to set a
pattern for handling aggression in the post-Cold War world. Going in
and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the United Nations'
mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response
to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion
route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power
in a bitterly hostile land."
If only his son could read.'

Matt Lauer asked Bush about the war on terrorism and Bush said "I don't think you can win it."
I remember Bush saying before that he would win the war on terror.
Why did he change his mind?
Is he losing confidence?
I think I agree with what I think you're saying, and that is that people tend to be so hooked on how he is a "steadfast" leader but essentially, he has put us at the bulk head of a war that cannot be won.
I'm glad to see you're back, palak! Welcome!

What I’m saying is this.
People on this thread (and elsewhere) have been speculating what message electing Kerry would give to terrorists.
What message do these same speculators think Bush sent to terrorists when he told Matt Lauer on television
“I don’t think you can win it” ?????
"it" meaning the war on terror he's been advancing.

"Your God" This is such an inappropriate way to address someone who has no connection to terrorist activity whatsoever. What is your implication here?
