"I doubt that you can win it"

Today's Matt Lauer put a bait and switch on President Bush, leading Bush to answer him on wether we can win the war on terror. "I doubt that you can win it," Bush said. What I get from this is that the YOU he mentions means Matt Lauer alone can't win it. John Kerry alone can't win it. The Democrats or the Republicans alone can't win it. We alone can't win it -- because this is a war for the entire world. It's a war that involves not only the US, but all those who are not Islamists. It's a war that will involve the entire world, all the countries of the world. Therefore, I agree with President Bush that "I doubt that you can win it." I doubt that you alone can win it, but together we can win it.
