On Monday, Robert Gates, the guy replacing Donald Rumsfeld as secretary of defense, said we're not winning the war in Iraq -- even though President Dubya has been saying we are.
So later, Dubya's mouthpiece, Tony Snow, was asked about this contradiction by reporters. Here's the exchange:
Q But his statement is inconsistent with what the administration says. The President has said, we are winning. You from that podium said, we're winning --
MR. SNOW: Right.
Q -- but we haven't won.
MR. SNOW: Right.
Q He said -- he agreed that we are not winning. So how is that consistent --
MR. SNOW: And he also said we're not losing....
So there you have it. We're not winning. We're not losing. I guess that means it's a tie.
