Bush Reverses Himself, Says War on Terror Can Be Won
Reuters

On the second day of the Republican convention, Bush found himself on the defensive as the campaign of his Democratic challenger, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), took aim at the president's comments to a television interviewer suggesting the war on terror was not winnable.

Bush used the occasion of a speech to the American Legion, the nation's largest veterans group, to fight back against the Kerry team's charge that he was taking a defeatist stance.

"We meet today in a time of war for our country, a war we did not start, but one that we will win," Bush told the group.

"It's a different type of war. We may never sit down at a peace table, but make no mistake about it, we are winning and we will win," he added.
