'We Will Fail' Verbal Slip By Bush Draws No Reaction LATimes.com 10-5-1

Clearly, President Bush didn't mean it. Winding up a speech, Bush said America will be tough and resolute to defeat terrorists so future generations can live in peace. "And there is no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail," the president said. His audience at the Labor Department did not react. Bush, known to make occasional verbal gaffes, continued in a positive vein: "Failure is not a part of our vocabulary. This great nation will lead the world and we will be successful." http://www.latimes.com/news/
