Foolish But True
In a huge gaffe, George Bush said in an interview yesterday that he doesn't think we will ever completely win the war on terror. An utterly foolish comment on the day the Republican National Convention opened and one that could really undermine his credibility as a leader and chances to win re-election. Yet, when you think about it, he's right. Terrorism will never be defeated. There will always be people bent on committing terrorist acts. The best we can hope for, as Bush says, is containment. Still, I don’t think it’s what the American public wants to hear from the President.
