To Stay or Not to Stay

Ugh, so the issue of the day seems to center on the phrase "stay the course" See Bush has used this phrase to describe his Iraq policy (vs the cut and run approach of evil-doers). But now, he's not so into it. The Washington Post and Media Matters are writing lots about this.

Tony Snow yesterday was saying that the policy hasn't changed but "he stopped using [stay the course]" in speaches. But that's ok because the policy was never stay the course it was just a misunderstood term. Snow also lied and said they went back and looked and Bush only used the term 8 times, when in fact it's at least 30 times.

Laura thinks it's still stay the course.

Rumsfeld says of course it's still stay the course

And don't get me started on setting a timeline for the transistion which I was told would just embolden our enemies. But apparently this isn't a big change in policy.
