The Nuisance Of Terrorism
every now and then, a moment of sheer lucidity accidentally slips into the campaign, on the part of one or the other candidate, on the subject of terrorism...
Bush had just such a moment a while back, in a television interview, when he said of the war on terrorism: "i don't think you can win it." he was right, for once - we can contain it, discourage it, minimize it, prosecute it, but we'll never eradicate it. of course, the Dems pounced on that comment, Bush backpedalled and we all went back to which candidate can do a better Clint Eastwood impression... Kerry had a similar moment this weekend, resulting in today's gotcha soundbite: Quote:
so, it's a shame the discourse in this election is so far gone that neither candidate can risk telling the truth - or is the US electorate just too simple-minded to handle it? |
