I thought Bush's "unwinnable" was a rare moment of honesty. He immediately retracted it.
We'll see if Kerry wilts under the criticism of his quote, or defends it using, say a quote from General Brent Scowcroft:
Quote:
Can we win the war on terrorism? Yes, I think we can, in the sense that we can win the war on organized crime. There is going to be no peace treaty on the battleship Missouri in the war on terrorism, but we can break its back so that it is only a horrible nuisance and not a paralyzing influence on our societies.
General Brent Scowcroft
Bush 41 National Security Advisor
Bush 43 appointee to the Forum for International Security
"9/11 a Year On" conference, Sept. 2002
