Bush Flubs Comment on Terror War
Bush's tendency to speak before he thinks surfaced again today.
In a television interview, Bush said it is "up in the air" whether the nation can ever be fully safe from another terror attack and suggested terrorists may still be contemplating ways to disrupt the election.
Later, realizing his gaffe, Bush reversed himself.
The president quickly backed away from the earlier remark, asserting that the war on terror could be won, even if not in a conventional sense, and that he "probably needed to be more articulate."
