1. Ok,Shrub. You're shovel just hit the 6 feet mark

See ya in Hell, bitch!

[Cha]

18. You made me laugh!

:toast: :D Lol!

[bigwillq]

20. Well, I'm very pleased that I made you laugh

But I do think my statement is very true.

This is the moment us DEMS have been waiting for.
I hope the Kerry Campaign moves quickly with this one and exposes Shrub as the slime ball , no sack, lying son of a bitch that he is.

We all have known this for years but this is our chance to get those on the fence to realize this.

This is indeed the turning point of the election.

edit: spelling

[Cha]

22. Very True!

And I cannot wait to have bush exposed for the lyin' sack of Shyte that he is!

[senseandsensibility]

25. For what it's worth

it was a lead story on the news on NPR this evening, and it was actually presented as a blunder or mistake by *. NPR has really been trending right the past few years and I was surprised. It also stated that Edwards was criticizing * for the statement today.

[bigwillq]

27. There's no spinning out of this one for Shrub

and the Kerry Camp and all the DEMS need to have Shrub pay big time for this one.

I hope more of the media catchs on to what a fucking stupid blooper this was. But I'm not expecting too much out of the media. They'll probably say that it was just a joke on Shrub's part and they all will start laughing in their fucking stupid little repuke laughs.

Yes. I am pissed.

[movonne]

2. Then why are we fighting??????

[Catfight]

3. In other words, Bush gives up, but leaves the soldiers to flounder

in the dust? What a great leader he isn't.

[Lefty48197]

4. Not in Iraq we can't

moran.

[UpsideDownFlag]

5. whoa. where'd he say that??

talk about a good kerry ad.

[MikeG]

7. Here ya go.

6. he's right, terror is an emotion, not a tangible enemy

but the war on TERRORISTS cant be won with a WIMP like Bush in charge

[NewYorkerfromMass]

8. Freepers finally realize the gravity of this gaffe:

I feel that this is a very bad move and maybe Bush's first serious gaffe this campaign.

Saying we can't win the war on terror is a very pessimistic things to be saying for the President of the United States and gives his opponent the opportunity to be optimistic on the war on terror issue.

I am very interested in seeing how Rove and Co are going to respond to this. From the early convention coverage on the alphabets and the cable nitwits (CNN, MSNBC, hell even Fox), it looks like this is going to be an issue for a while.

I always believed that optimism wins election.. JFK optimism, Reagan's optimism, and hell even Clinton's optimism. No matter how phoney the candidate (i.e. Clinton), a message of optimism always wins, and saying we can't win the war on terror was a major blunder. These middle-ground voters are going to ask themselves why they would want a leader who doesn't think we can win.....

19. Clinton's Not A Phoney! bush, the asshole,

Is a PHONEY!

I say bush is One Big MothurFu**ing Gaffe!

[cthrumatrix]

9. fine...get somebody who can do the job...who needs this ass

[wurzel]

10. As long as Bush is "President" that is self evident!

[OSheaman]

11. Wow, another unwinnable war!!

Like *coughwarondrugscough*

[WindRavenX]

12. it's like that line from F9/11

(paraphrased) "It's not whether or not the war can be won, but rather, creating the illusion that the war will never end..."
Anyone have the exact quote? This totally fits *'s comment.

[MikeG]

13. After Bush tries to explain - Kerry should say this:

I'M GLAD THE PRESIDENT CLEARED THAT UP FOR US.

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. If he has such little faith

in America, then it's time for him to go back to Crawford.

He doesn't have a clue.

[lapfog_1]

15. Just setting the stage

for the endless war. The "War on Terror" has no definable
endpoint or even a clear goal. The idea is completely described
in Orwell's 1984. War is Peace.

[goodhue]

16. The emporer wears no clothes.

[Cha]

17. Not with bush at the fucking helm we can't!

WE need a New and Better President! Not a pretzeldent!

[chelsea0011]

21. Thousands dead in Iraq and he says this

And they repukes say Kerry isn't fit to be Commander -in-Chief?

[imax2268]

23. How many times

has he said "We are winning the war on Terra"...?

Now...he's saying that we can't win...

gee...you know what that sounds like to me...

A FLIP FLOP...or a Waffle...take your pick...

[Nashyra]

24. I think Kerry should come out with a statement that

claims that "he has to break his silence during the repuke convention and let the troops know that he KNOWS they can win this war on terror, and that they did their job honorably in Iraq and their success was not castastrophic, but the leadership has been a castastrophic failure." End of conversation, no questions answered.

[Leilani]

26. Bush screwed up......says Joe Scarborough

& says Kerry should have hit him hard on this

I agree.
