In his September 20, 2001, Address to a Joint Session of Congress, Bush warned Americans not to expect a quick victory, stating, "Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen".
He framed the war on terror as "the calling of our generation" and "the great ideological struggle of the 21st century," suggesting a commitment that would span decades.
Bush asserted that the war would not end until "every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated".
He vowed that the United States would "not tire," "not falter," and "not fail," emphasizing that the nation would meet violence with "patient justice".
By 2006, he reaffirmed that it would be a"long war," noting that the strategy involved changing the conditions that give rise to terror by replacing "violent dictatorships with peaceful democracies" throughout the Middle East.
All this was done so our country could recover from the shame of Bill Clinton's dalliances.
P.S. We lost both wars because expecting children not born during the butt hurt that started the conflict to have any loyalty to ill defined causes.
Ya know... if you plan it right, that's not that far off... and doable... So many don't seem to know how to plan, shop, prepare and store food... or eat leftovers.
Frankly... I can make that work for a couple days.
Great... soooooooooooo nowwwwwwwwww... let's figure out housing and utilities...

Once you put it all together... then you have the calculation for what to provide everyone as a Universal Basic Income.
tsk tsk tsk... listen to me blabbing on about chit I'll never experience.
P.S. I remember when a similar formula was pushed during the Nixon admin... and most people weren't overweight. Also... we do look silly when newscasts use video clips of fat Americans to complain about food insecurity...
