Whoops! Hmmm.

I dunno. What would that qualify as? A flip? Or a flop? Or maybe a floop?

It looks very much to me like a clipped quote. The original is really
weaselly; it tries to make it look like they asked him what it would
take to win the war on terror, but if you look closely, the war on
terror wasn't mentioned in quotes, just after the fact. What they
asked him was, "Can we win?", according to their own quotes. But
somehow I have the feeling we'd have heard something entirely different
had we been there at the time.
