Presidential Debate

I’m watching the Democrat presidential debate right now, and it has been mostly what one would expect: no one is answering the questions, etc.
But one thing struck me: former senator Gravel said that (this is as close to verbatim as I can remember): “We have had terrorists with us for forever, and we will have them until the end; what good is it to go to war with them? It’s like the war on drugs.” Well, by the same reasoning, let’s substitute “poverty” for “terrorists:”
“We have had poverty with us for forever, and we will have it until the end; what good is it to go to war with it?”
UPDATE: apparently, ARO isn’t the only one to take notice of Gravel: the Instapundit has more.
