Washington - United States President George Bush acknowledged on Monday that he didn't think the war on terror could be won, but said it would make it less acceptable for groups to use terrorism as a tool.
Early on Monday, NBC-TV's Today programme was broadcasting an interview with Bush that included a discussion of his goals for a second administration.
Bush, who has said he expects the war on terror to be a long, drawn-out battle, was asked by interviewer Matt Lauer, "Can we win it?"
"I don't think you can win it," Bush replied, according to excerpts NBC provided in advance.

Hey Jackass, here is what he said.
I don't think you can win it," the president said, when asked if the war on terrorism can be won. "But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world."
"I have a two-pronged strategy," he said. "On the one hand is to find them before they hurt us. ... The long-term strategy is to spread freedom and liberty."
He added later, ?You cannot show weakness in this world today because the enemy will exploit that weakness. It will embolden them and make the world a more dangerous place.?
