Make Bush fall into his own rhetorical trap.
Bush's supposed decisiveness has been a major theme for this campaign already. It will only grow as time goes on. We can inoculate ourselves against future attempts by the Repubs. to slam Kerry for his supposed "lack of decisiveness". Here's how...

Bush's recent "We will win" vs. "We can't win" vs. "We will win" again flip flop portrays him as a hypocrite. What's more is that it is done so in the most blatant way possible, so every person could see its absurdity if shown it in the proper context. We can achieve this desired context by forcing Bush to keep answering questions to succinctly clarify his position on the war on terror's winnability, making him bend and twist around his own jumbled words. We all know he is not a good speaker who can improvise on the spot, so most likely he'll bring about his own downfall and the meme that accompanies it.

It can be a big help and successfully dis-empower one of the GOP's main strategic moves this campaign. Thus we must pressure our representatives and media to get clarity from Bush on this issue.

Anyone have any ideas on how to flush out this plan more precisely?

2. Precisely right. Bush for a second had a moment of clarity
in which he forgot that his "war on terror" was, as a war on a tactic, an idiotic rhetorical device. Either he admits that his war on terror is the same as the war on poverty or war on drugs, or he has to flip back again.
