“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

What should be on the lips of every Democrat

Bring the hammer down, folks:
On NBC's Today show this morning, George Bush flip-flopped on whether he thought the U.S. could win the war on terror. Asked by host Matt Lauer, "Can we win it [the war on terror], Bush replied:

"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.”

John Edwards released the following statement in response to Bush’s comments today on the war on terror:

“After months of listening to the Republicans base their campaign on their singular ability to win the war on terror, the president now says we can’t win the war on terrorism. This is no time to declare defeat -- it won’t be easy and it won’t be quick, but we have a comprehensive long-term plan to make America safer. And that’s a difference.”
