more rumsfeld gibberish

Rumsfeld says it's just not possible for the US to lose military in Iraq. Then contradicts himself and says military might isn't enough alone to win.

So which one is it?

U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Tuesday the U.S. military is too strong to lose the war in Iraq, but ultimately political solutions will be needed to win.

"You've got a situation where it's not possible to lose militarily," Rumsfeld said. "It's also going to require more than military power to prevail."

If it's "not possible" for us to lose militarily, then why do we need "more than military power" to win? That doesn't make sense.

Why does the media insist on quoting these maniacs, uncontested, even when they're speaking absolute gibberish?
