If it were not for 2800 dead American troops, more than 20,000
wounded, and the damage done to the American image because of our
misadventure in Iraq, Bush would be one damn funny guy. I guess
when reality has you by the balls there is no other course then to
change course. For the past year Bush and his toadies have
insisted that we must “STAY THE COURSE” in Iraq. But when ABC’s
George Stephanopoulos queried the President, he denied that he had a
stay the course policy. Check out the video:
Media Matters provides the specific dates for his “stay the course policy”:
- BUSH: We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq. [8/4/05]
- SNOW: The second thing you do is you stay the course. [7/10/06]
- SNOW: But on
the other hand, you also cannot be a President in a wartime and not realize
that you’ve got to stay the course. [8/17/06] - BUSH: We will stay the course. [8/30/06]
- BUSH: We will stay
the course until the job is done, Steve. And the temptation is to try to get
the President or somebody to put a timetable on the definition of getting the
job done. We’re just going to stay the course. [12/15/03] - BUSH: And my message today to those in Iraq is: We’ll stay the
course. [4/13/04] - SNOW: People are
going to want more of it, and that’s why the President is determined to
stay the course. April. [8/16/06] - BUSH: And
that’s why we’re going to stay the course in Iraq. And
that’s why when we say something in Iraq, we’re going to do it. [4/16/04] - BUSH: And so we’ve got tough action in Iraq. But we will stay the course.
[4/5/04]
This is Bush’s Baghdad Bob moment. Bob, (aka Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, Saddam’s Minister of Information)
became famous for his delusional statements. Now he has a new comedy
partner–George W. Bush. Compare Bob’s video with George’s
performance above:
