flip-floppin' away

So we all know that John Kerry is a flip-flopper, right? Yeah. Okay. But has anyone else been watching the president's little escapades this week? On Monday, he told Matt Lauer that he didn't think we could win the war on terror and now he's all over the place saying that we, of course, can. Of course, he has clarified now to the point where we will win..."just not in the conventional way" which is, of course, just bullshit.

It's funny to me because I don't think it's winnable either, not in any sort of "conventional" way, but then I'm not the one supporting the use of conventional means in fighting it. How can a man fight a war like any other war in human history with invasion forces, bombs, and all that crap and then get away with the double-speak of saying that those "conventional" means won't ultimately work? Ugh. Seriously, this war is being fought with intelligence and bombs which is very much the way that the president has admitted now will not and cannot work...meanwhile, options like diplomacy (which opens the doors to non-conventional tactics) are dismissed with a sort of scorched-earth retreat into American isolationism.

Man, I need an aspirin.
