ARMITAGE: WE'RE STILL NOT WINNING

This little exchange seems to have been overlooked by the wingnuts in their eagerness to prop up their delusions about the outing of Valerie Plame.

BLITZER: Here is what you were quoted as saying in Bob Woodward's book "State of Denial" that came out back in 2004, referring to the war in Iraq: "We are not winning, we are not losing, not winning over a long period of time works for the insurgents." Based on what you know is happening right now -- and you are no longer in the government, what is your -- does that statement that you made to Bob Woodward still hold?

ARMITAGE: I think it is quite clear now that we are doing much better on the battlefield. But since the governance is not there in Iraq, we are not yet winning. That statement still holds.
