"We’ve never been stay the course." --George W. Bush, First Idiot of the 21st Century
When George Stephanopoulos asked Bush about "James Baker’s plan to develop a strategy for Iraq that is 'between stay the course and cut and run,' the Bubble Boy tried to drop stay the course down the old memory hole. Did Bushie think no one would notice? Is he off his meds again? It's not like the Bubble Boy doesn't know we have "the google" - he says he's used it, but apparently he's used "the google" only for the pictures.
Washington Post:
President Bush and his aides are annoyed that people keep misinterpreting his Iraq policy as "stay the course." A complete distortion, they say. "That is not a stay-the-course policy," White House press secretary Tony Snow declared yesterday.
Where would anyone have gotten that idea? Well, maybe from Bush
"We will stay the course. We will help this young Iraqi democracy succeed," he said in Salt Lake City in August.
"We will win in Iraq so long as we stay the course," he said in Milwaukee in July.
"I saw people wondering whether the United States would have the nerve to stay the course and help them succeed," he said after returning from Baghdad in June.
NY Times:
“He stopped using it,” said Tony Snow, the White House press secretary. “It left the wrong impression about what was going on and it allowed critics to say, ‘Well, here’s an administration that’s just embarked upon a policy and not looking at what the situation is,’ when, in fact, it is the opposite.”
Death and destruction and a world full of dissenting opinions can't sway this pResident, but an election nightmare looms , and suddenly The Decider is Mr. Flexibility!
Cause little things like wars, and even hurricanes, are trifles compared to the looming nightmare of a disempowered George W. Bush.
