WHOA! Wolfe leads off with Bush's "can't win it" comment!

[Atman]

Will he be tough or just look for more ass-kissing excuses? Sorry...don't bother answering.

1. This is our Teresa Heinz Kerry "shove-it" comment.

Let's ride it hard.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. kick

[Killarney]

3. Imagine if Kerry had said that?

The campaign would be over. The media would kill him like the Dean scream.

But because shrub said it, they'll give it a little play but won't push it.

[lancdem]

9. Bingo

Josh Marshall pointed that out, saying they'd be all over Kerry if he had uttered it.

[grytpype]

10. So true...

"Traitor Kerry Surrenders in War on Terror, America Horrified But Not Surprised"

[KittyWampus]

31. Your Head Line Is So Funny... And Sadly, True

don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[xray s]

4. Get on your combat boots and stomp on this one hard!

Bush is an idiot that has led us into a stupid war he doesn't even think he can win!

That has to make our guys over in Iraq feel just dandy!

[swag]

20. Just sent the flip-flop to my favorite local columnist

with a personal note.

Get your columnists with this one.

[quinnox]

5. good

It would be great if this Bush comment, which I agree with a couple of other Duers was a big blunder politically, gets some heavy coverage and morphs into a controversy. It is ironic because I think Bush spoke the truth with what he said, but it might be a kind of truth that shouldn't be said in public.

[BootinUp]

11. It certainly shouldn't be said by the guy that goaded and bullied

and shouted our country into Iraq.

[jefferson_dem]

6. First chimpster admits that Kerry is more heroic and now

he wimps out and concedes that we cannot win the war. This...on top of his draft-dodging and 7-minute "reflection moment" after we were under attack. What a pussy. But the macho knuckle-draggin' freeper freaks still support him!

[Myrina]

15. He is painting himself as a thoughtful compassionate leader ...

Toning down the 'yer wit us er yer agin us' cowboy bluster that we've all become so nauseated by.

This isn't the last we've heard of the 'kinder gentler George' this week .... :puke:

[buycitgo]

18. don't forget '''sensitive''

[jefferson_dem]

7. sorry dupe message...

[ItsMyParty]

8. REMEMBER: terror is going to be the centerpiece of his convention

and his speech (because it's the only thing he has). He just nailed his own sorry ass and it is beyone imparative that Kerry now jumps all over this, says he 'can' win the war, relate it to international cooperation, say Bush can't 'cause he fucked international cooperation, tell the people that it also doesn't help that Bush has so underfunded the whole damn homeland sector, and then add that this son of a bitch didn't even want a Homeland Director in the first place just like he didn't want a 9/11 Commission. John, if Bush walked up to you and dropped over dead on your feet, you couldn't ask to a better ticket to Nov. 2nd.

[faithnotgreed]

16. great job itsmyparty - hope youre feeling better now cause you just

nailed it....

i think the campaign is doing a good job but here is a kicker for sure
all right john, you got it, now go out there and tell the americans what the real deal is!


bush is just beyond words but i think we can find a few!

[buycitgo]

19. hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....dig this quote

''I believe that democracy can take hold in parts of the world that are now non-democratic. And I think it's necessary in order to defeat the ideologies of hate."

you talking about HERE in the US, aren't you, dumbo?

[kentuck]

12. We don't need to hear someone "speak" for George Bush....

We need to hear him clarify exactly what he meant?? Was he taken out of context? I don't think...

[AgadorSparticus]

13. Bush can't win it......AH! I LOVEit!!! about time too! i need a Bumper

-sticker of this.

[MikeG]

14. Nuance from the Chimp: Too Fucking Bad. Make him pay.

[cthrumatrix]

24. just like his "catostraphic victory in Iraq"....this guy is an idiot

[John_H]

17. Who's on Wolfie's panel? n/t

[MikeG]

21. Kick

[gristy]

22. "Can't win it"????

I'm playing catch up here. Do you have the lead DU thread on this?

[buycitgo]

23. no thread, but.....

Despite campaigning as the candidate who can win the war on terror, President Bush said in a broadcast interview today he didn't believe such a war could ever be won, but must be fought to make terrorism "less acceptable."

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

[faithnotgreed]

25. love how he says "you can create conditions so that those who use terror

as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world"

yeah. its called the patriot act and its called invading and bombing iraq with few allies and even less proof that they were a country to go to war with and its called a dictatorship controlled media and country.

before all this, it was called america

[gristy]

26. Well, that makes sense

and I agree with that statement. Though it is quite a change from the memes he's been spouting for 3 years. I vaguely remember Kerry saying essentially the same thing a while back.

[seabeyond]

27. clearly he said we cant win

just cutting off a little of the sentence. that is legitimate isnt it. that is what they did with kerry 71 speech. that is what everyone is wanting to do

he said

we cant win, grinnin

the thing about a lie, cant worry about being caught, what if they call ya on it, deny deny deny,......jsut keep saying nope he said

we cant win

[buycitgo]

29. you GOT it........just ask Matt Dowd

poor tweety's already forgotten about that, though, and is back in total psycho mode....back in the Bush tank

[MoonRiver]

28. Go Lou!!

:kick:

[troublemaker]

30. But we CAN defeat war on terror related program activities
