President Bush flip-flops on whether he'll win the war on terror: President Bush tried today to stop the political fallout over his comments last weekend that the war on terror might not be winnable. Indeed, “we will win” that war, Mr. Bush told the national convention of the American Legion in Nashville. “We meet today in a time of war for our country, a war we did not start yet one that we will win,” Mr. Bush said. He spoke on the second day of the Republican National Convention in New York City, where Mr. Bush will deliver his nomination-acceptance speech on Thursday...The president’s unambiguous remarks today differed from those in an interview with Matt Lauer of the NBC News program “Today.” When Mr. Lauer asked him about the war on terrorism, Mr. Bush replied, “I don’t think you can win it.” The president went on to say, “I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world.” So much for being a steady leader in times of change.
