President Willing to Delude Himself About Other People's Wars Too
President Bush asserted yesterday that Hezbollah was defeated in its month-long conflict with Israel, casting the fighting that killed hundreds of Lebanese and Israeli civilians as part of a wider struggle "between freedom and terrorism."
So what you're telling us is that in a seemingly endless conflict against an enemy to poorly-defined and decentralized to be actually defeated in one campaign, you can just"assert" victoryand then stop fighting? Dude, President Bush, where were you three years ago?
