In 2004, Bush said we can't win the war on terror

All the feigned outrage from Republicans (and Joe Lieberman) over Harry Reid's accurate assessment of Iraq is really beyond annoying. They're such hypocrites. The opposite of losing is winning. Yet, not one of those Republicans (or Joe Lieberman) can say that we're winning the war that Bush started.

And since we're talking hypocrisy, let's not forget that is was George Bush who said in September of 2004 that we can't win the war on terror:

Lauer: You said to me a second ago, one of the things you'll lay out in your vision for the next four years is how to go about winning the war on terror. That phrase strikes me a little bit. Do you really think we can win this war on terror in the next four years?

President Bush: I have never said we can win it in four years.

Lauer: So I’m just saying can we win it? Do you see that?

President Bush: I don’t think you can win it.
Here's a crazy idea for those in the traditional media who just parrot GOP talking points: Do some research. That statement sure gave a lot of aid and comfort to our enemies -- the enemies who actually attacked us on September 11th -- not the enemies we created with Bush's war in Iraq.

And a big shout out to JM for pointing out this particular Bush hypocrisy.
