First of all, I'm new to the forum, interested in politics and thought I'd drop in. I would not consider myself a democrat or a republican. That being said, I found these two quotes that I thought I'd share. I thought this would have been posted already but didn't see it. If it is, i'm really sorry and I'd ask a mod to please delete this post.. Anyways...

"President George Bush acknowledged today that he does not think the war on terror can be won, but said it would make it less acceptable for groups to use terrorism as a tool.

In a US TV interview, Bush, who has said he expects the war on terror to be a long, drawn-out battle, was asked: ?Can we win it??

The president replied: ?I don?t think you can win it. 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.?

and from an article today...

"In a speech to the national convention of the American Legion, Bush said, ?We meet today in a time of war for our country, a war we did not start yet one that we will win.

?In this different kind of war, we may never sit down at a peace table,? Bush said. ?But make no mistake about it, we are winning and we will win.?

Once again, I'm sorry if this was already posted...

Yes, Bush is quite the flip flopper. I think he was right the first time, though I would amend what he said to: " "We cannot win the war on Terror the way I am fighting it..."

You can go into your profile and edit it to include more posts per page. I think most people do that. :)

Also, btw, the searching is not a keyword search...it's an exact-text search.
