You guys are amazing.
"Oh, please don't say that, you're going to discourage us!"
Listen, gaffes like that make our jobs harder. Now we'll have to put up with swing voters incessently saying, "it's a war even the President says we can't win."
I'm not saying "give up," but rather, "be prepared for the enemy's attack." And truthfully, I thought you guys were of heartier stock than to read defeat into what I said.
Snore!
Please re-read what you wrote and then tell me who's "amazing".
You opted to absent yourself from rational discourse with your ridiculous comparisons concerning the impact of the Bush remark.
(On it's face, Bush's statement is correct. It is a slightly unfortunate choice of words ONLY because of the severe bias of the media. My prior post adequately addressed why your overreaction was absurd)
I didn't read defeat into what you said. I meant to imply that the "can't win" gaffe is over. The only ones who care are DUmmies.
Dubya misspoke, and was further misinterpreted, and it was corrected. It's not a question of defeatism, but rather of irrelevance.
Assassins in ancient Persia...
Mckinley's assassin...
Anarchists in early 20th USA and Europe...
FALN, FARC, PLO,
AlQuaida, etc...
all of these are of a common thread. By stomping one out you do not eliminate the others. This is the reality of human life, before Republicans and Democrats, which the President realizes. Yet, we are told he is not "intellectually curious".
Get a grip.
