We're winning the "war on terror"....
.....unless you count Iraq and Afghanistan.
In Iraq,"insurgents" control Ramadi, Falluja, Baquba and Samarra, in the so-called Sunni triangle, west and north of Baghdad, where Saddam Hussein remains popular and many forces loyal to him have gathered strength. American generals are saying they'll have these areas under their control by the time Iraqi elections are held in January. Other American officials are pessimistic, noting attacks on American forces rose to 2,700 in August, from 700 in March.
In Afghanistan, American forces are coming under increasing attack from Al Qaida and Taliban forces.
Surprise! The Taliban isn't defeated and Al Qaida isn't in check.
And Bush wants to be hired for another four years because he couldn't manage to do the job in the first four?
