Ok guys, come on, I despise George Bush as much as the next liberal (maybe even a bit more), but this is just despicable. He was right Monday in saying that we can't "win" the War on Terror, in a set-peice way like we won the Second World War, just that we can make it a tool that cannot be used against us in large part. Now he has claimed "we are winning, and we will win", which, according to parameters he has set for "winning" (Which is making it a tool that will not be used by a large group of people), we are doing (According to him anyway), therefore, we are "winning"

So do the leftists jumping on this quote from Bush scream desperation to anybody else? Everybody understands what Bush meant....that fighting terrorists will be an on going war that will never really have a clear ending. There will be no surrender or a cease fire agreement at the end. Haha, Bush has so got this election in the bag, and the left is really starting to realize it. The right played Kerry like a fiddle with his pushing his Vietnam tour as a central issue in his campaign.

You are right here Sword and Sheild. In a way, we are winning but terrorism will not be totally defeated thus Bush is right when he says that we can't win it as in traditional way, but that we can limit them in their capacity to have a global reach. This, Bush has done which is why we are winning this war but we all know that we will never totally win it.

Right: We will justify our side's flip-flops and denounce the left for bringing them up.

Left: Hmmm, sounds like classic denial to us.

Right: Don't use your fancy commie psychobabble on us.

Left: We're only trying to point out--

Right: We're NOT going to listen to your talking points

Left: Look, our side tries to point out the nuances involved in complex issues, that there isn't always a black and white/good and bad dichotomy involved in decisions, and then you turn around and try to use those justifications yourself.

Right: That's because when your side makes nuanced decisions, it's because you're wishy washy and effete. When our side makes them, it is because we are clarifying our strong and unwavering position.

Left: But--

Right: Shut up, you lost!

Left: You just saying that doesn't make it so.

Right: Yes it does! What, are you un-American? Shut up!

Left: Now come on, why can't you admit--

Right: Because you are wrong, the evidence supports us!

Left: But what about this article--

Right: That's a left-wing communist rag! Look what it says here--

Left: But that's a partisan conservative site

Right: No it's not, you're brainwashed by the liberal media

Left: We could say something similar about you...

Right: No you can't!

Left: Oh goddammit, look, you can't have it both ways

Right: Profanity? Now you know you lost!

Left: Just listen to reason, you stupid arrogant bastard

Right: See! See!!! You commie pinko scum can't come up with any info, so you just say we're stupid.

Left: But I posted...

Right: You posted lies!

Left: (considers moving to Canada)
