“In his address to a joint session of Congress on September 20 [2001] he [President Bush] stated: ‘Americans are asking: How will we fight and win this war? …This war will not be like the war against Iraq a decade ago, with a decisive liberation of territory and a swift conclusion. It will not look like the air war above Kosovo two years ago.’ ”
