WH: bin Laden Capture "A Success That Hasn't Occured Yet"
By Justin Rood - December 29, 2006, 8:25 AM

Five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, Osama bin Laden is still at large -- but that's not a failure of White House policy, says Frances Fragos Townsend. As she explained to CNN's White House correspondent Ed Henry last night:

HENRY: You know, going back to September 2001, the president said, dead or alive, we're going to get him. Still don't have him. I know you are saying there's successes on the war on terror, and there have been. That's a failure.

TOWNSEND: Well, I'm not sure -- it's a success that hasn't occurred yet. I don't know that I view that as a failure.

Getting paid good money for average level bullshitting? Why don't more people want to get in?

Average? I would posit that it is an amazing attempt at bullshitting...brilliant in its scope and the ability of the spinner to be able to say this without their head exploding from spin overload does point to something special....

Perhaps the term "doublethink" would be appropriate here? :)
