Democrats Decry Bush Comments on Terror

[Khephra]

NEW YORK -- Democrats criticized President Bush's record on national security and military matters Monday, seizing on the president's comment that he doesn't think the fight against terrorism can be won.

"I don't think you can win it," Bush said on NBC's "Today," when asked, "can we win" the war on terror. "But I think you can create conditions so that the -- those who use terror as a tool are -- less acceptable in parts of the world."

Democrats responded quickly at a morning briefing a half-dozen blocks from the Republican National Convention.

"I decided a year ago that he cannot win the war on terror," Gen. Merrill McPeak, a John Kerry supporter, said of Bush.

1. Bush: We can't win the war on terror

Kerry: No, YOU can't win the war on Terror. Get out of the way then and let somebody who can lead the country.

Why not put them in your Administration.
They seem pretty unpopular right now.

3. the so called 'war on terror' is nothing more than a sham, and a

political ploy.

Very simply, wars on abstractions are entirely unwinnable by anyone, and politicians should save us the money and stop declaring war on abstract things like 'drugs' and 'terror', IMO.

5. As Jon Stewart's Daily Show suggested

Maybe after we "win" the War on Terror, we could declare a war on Ennui. Take that, you GenX Slackers!
