Bush is showing his true colors when he says he doesn't think we can win the "war" against terrorists, it sounds a lot like the war that would never end (because it was so convenient for domestic governing) in Orwell's 1984. Josh Marshall points out that if Kerry had made such a controversial statement the press would be all over that comment. It would be a shock to me if Kerry said that because he wants to defeat the terrorists. Bush and his neocons, on the other hand, have used the fight against terrorists to justify everything they want for the world and our darkening domestic policies, and even as an argument to keep them in power. The latter argument is ridiculous and exactly not what this country needs!
For Bush and his neocons, all our money, all our resources should help them get richer and the U.S. more powerful in the World. They get richer and wage wars at the expense of our environment and public education (many neocons think public education should not exist, they believe only private schools should exist--if you don't believe me ask Bill O'Reilly). If you are not deeply suspicious of the neocons, check out "Uncovered: The War in Iraq." Al-Qaeda wants Islam to be the only religion in the world, the neocons are philosophically similar to al-Qaeda because they want the U.S. to dominate the world with power and fear--also like al-Qaeda, these radically "conservative" men and women are not interested in creating a peaceful, comfortable, and prosperous life for Americans. The neocons (already privileged people) want to use our military (underprivileged people) to make the rest of the world serve their purposes (probably for oil money). The neocons have an advantage over al-Qaeda because they are currently running our government--although they are probably surprised (if they are objectively observant, which is questionable) that their whacked agenda has spread our military too thin and is exhausting it. Iraq is the first target on their empirialistic rampage, as King George put it, their "Crusade."
Yes, they don't care a wit if we win the "war" against terrorists. The terrorists are a bate and switch for them to do whatever they like with our military.
Please, please, vote Bush and his neocons out of office. They are doing anything and will do anything to hold onto power--they have shown us exactly how they operate. They bully and lie to get what they want--they want no debate, no learning, no progress, no peace. When have you ever heard a neocon inspire you to be a better person or part of a better nation? They simply do all they can to make us fear other people.
