MINOR QUIZ
At the end of October, President Bush, in response to a question about whether the United States is winning the war in Iraq said this: "Absolutely, we're winning." Then, yesterday, he said: "We're not winning, we're not losing."
See if you can guess which of the following explanations the president offered up when asked about these seemingly contradictory assertions regarding a conflict that he started for no good reason and that has so far claimed the lives of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis:
A) He was misquoted by the Democrat-loving, terrorist-coddling news media.
B) It was opposite day.
C) He thought the reporter was asking about his fantasy football team.
D) What he actually meant was "we will win," even though the question was in the present tense and even though nothing about his answer indicated that he was talking about the eventual outcome rather than the current situation.
E) His darn Tourette's was acting up again.
F) He was lying the first time because he thought that if he told the truth it might hurt the Republicans in the mid-term elections.
(Answer: D; Real reason: F or, possibly, C)
