Stay the Course (Or Maybe Not)

View this on LiveDigital

A classic example of how President Bush will deny saying things he is on-record saying. This case it is staying the course in Iraq. Bush told ABC News George Stephanopoulos the administration never had a stay the course policy with Iraq. The liberal media, also known as the official White House web site, website has this quote.

And my message today to those in Iraq is: We'll stay the course; we'll complete the job.

Bush prides himself with staying on-message. The problem is when the message is unpopular, the President feels he has to deny things he said to win support of the American people. He probably considers that good politics. It is the reason why his credibility on Iraq is in shambles.
