August 30, 2004A war we can’t win?President Bush concedes today in a television network interview that the United States can’t really “win” the war on terrorism in the conventional sense of victory. “I don't think you can win it, but I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world,” Bush tells NBC News’ “Today” show in a videotaped interview. Bush vows unrelenting pursuit of al-Qaida in the short term and a long-term effort to “spread freedom and liberty” to “defeat the ideologies of hate.” The Kerry campaign quickly seized upon Bush’s remarks. John Edwards, Democrats’ vice presidential candidate, issued a statement saying that Bush “now says we can’t win the war on terrorism.” Adds Edwards: “This is no time to declare defeat. It won’t be easy and it won’t be quick, but (Democrats) have a comprehensive long-term plan to make America safer.”

The 9/11 Committee concluded that Iraq was not involved with the WTC/Pentagon attack. However soothingly spun, none of the explanations takes away the loss and maiming of lives in Iraq. The U.S. could be charged with war crimes by the same international court that we have defiled for years. Impeachment, not- re-election, should be the topic of the day. Truer words wer never spokes: "We really don't have enemies. Its just that some of our best friends are trying to kill us" Posted by: Edward Thomas, Jr. at August 30, 2004 03:55 PMThe 9/11 Committee concluded that Iraq was not involved with the WTC/Pentagon attack.
