By SCOTT LINDLAW, Associated Press Writer
NASHUA, N.H. - President Bush (news - web sites) ignited a Democratic inferno of criticism on Monday by suggesting the war on terrorism could not be won, forcing his aides to scramble to defend his remarks just as he had hoped to bask in convention accolades.
Bush sought to emphasize the economy - New Hampshire's appears to be on a rebound - but his comments on terrorism dominated national attention.
In an interview on NBC-TV's "Today" show, Bush vowed to stay the course in the war on terror, saying perseverance in the battle would make the world safer for future generations. But he suggested an all-out victory against terrorism might not be possible.
Asked "Can we win?" Bush said, "I don't think you can win it. But I think you can create conditions so that the - those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world."

Of course it's been obvious all along to anyone with the least bit of sense that the "war on terror" was just a con, not a real war that could be won. So naturally the response to Bush's comment by the Democrats is a loud chorus of "it can too be won." Just more proof that anyone who wants the US to stop trying to pick fights with the entire world will be wasting their vote if they vote for Kerry.
