NY Post on the Quagmire
Can you believe it? It's been three whole weeks, and America still hasn't won its war on terrorism. The enemy must be tougher than first thought, no? Puh-leeze. From the outset, the only sure thing about this war was that Americans would very soon be asked to doubt their leaders - and themselves. Now the news is full of stories speaking of how long and tough the war will be - as if anybody who knew anything ever expected it to be different. Wasn't anyone paying attention when President Bush said last month that this would be a "long struggle" and asked the nation to summon its collective resolve? "This war will not be like the war against Iraq a decade ago, with a decisive liberation of territory and a swift conclusion," he said in his speech before Congress. "It will not look like the air war above Kosovo two years ago, where no ground troops were used and not a single American was lost in combat." The war's barely started yet. Why, the antiwar Lefties haven't even found a good tub to thump. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2001-10-29 |
