We're finally getting nuance.

MEJ's Bill In DC says "We're finally getting nuance" from the Shrub, who of course doesn't do nuance. ELISABETH BUMILLER quit beating the drums of war long enough to report on this Bush "departure" from Bush's brand of reality.

"I don't think you can win it," Mr. Bush replied. "But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world."

As recently as July 14, Mr. Bush had drawn a far sunnier picture. "I have a clear vision and a strategy to win the war on terror," he said.

At a prime-time news conference in the East Room of the White House on April 13, Mr. Bush said: "One of the interesting things people ask me, now that we are asking questions, is, 'Can you ever win the war on terror?' Of course you can."

Of course if Kerry had said this Cheney would have been all over him like the old rabid dog he is.
I guess he is preparing us for a constant state of war and letting us know that we will have to give up our rights as Americans permanently.
