Bush Flip-Flopping + Day 1

W. on The War on Terror yesterday:

“I don’t think you can win it but I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world.”

W. on the War on Terror today:

“In this different kind of war, we may never sit down at a peace table. But make no mistake about it, we are winning and we will win,” Bush said, pausing to grin slightly. “We will win by staying on the offensive, we will win by spreading liberty.”

If it flops like a fish…

Meanwhile stuff from yesterday:

“I hope the media are responsible enough to report the numbers honestly, but I am not sure they will. How would they know if they weren’t there?”

—Margaret Cho

“They have spent $80 million on just security for seven days. Do you know how many people we can feed with $80 million?”

—unnamed protester at the Poor People’sCampaign March

“New York City is a fortress, and I love it.”

—Joseph Kyrillos, the New Jersey state Republican chairman
