Precicely. Of course, as usual, Bush&Co can't admit they might have
made a mistake so they lie. The neocon dupes can't admit they KNOW
Bush&Co lied so they ignore it outright. Simply pathetic.

Now, I'm betting that some of those with at least a small bit of a
clue are wishing Bush&Co would just stop lying but they're not going
to admit it.

RHETORIC CORRECTION: For years, President Bush has communicated his
strategy for Iraq with a simple three-word pronouncement: stay the
course. Bush said in August, "We will stay the course." In July, he
again said, "We will win in Iraq so long as we stay the course." The
month before that, he said the U.S. must keep its nerve and "stay the
course." Now, with his approval ratings plummeting and his strategy
failing, Bush is ditching the phrase, claiming "we've never been stay
the course." The Washington Post writes, "The White House is cutting
and running from 'stay the course.'" The White House is in full
retreat, sprinting away from the slogan. Spokesman Tony Snow declared
yesterday, "That is not a stay-the-course policy." Bartlett said the
administration has "never" had a "stay the course" strategy.
Unfortunately, the rhetoric correction offers little in the way of an
actual course correction. The administration's shallow attempts to
change its rhetoric will be meaningless until it accepts the growing
consensus that a strategic redeployment offers the last best hope for
success.
