Who cares who said it? In hindsight it was wrong. It was in error...facts change. The President and the administration made some major errors in judgement and execution. Many others, both democrat and republican joined them. Can't you EVER acknowledge that a path once taken might have to be changed? The Iraq policy is fatally flawed. It must be changed, sooner rather than later. Warner says give it three months. I respect Warner....and Hagel...and Graham....and several other republican senators. I'll give it three months. Just enough time for the Baker report to come out and give the President political cover so he can claim victory and move on.

Words are so meaningless...:"stay the course", "cut and run"...even the President can't remember what he said: _______________________________________________ Bush: ‘We’ve Never Been Stay The Course’ During an interview today on ABC’s This Week, President Bush tried to distance himself from what has been his core strategy in Iraq for the last three years. George Stephanopoulos asked about James Baker’s plan to develop a strategy for Iraq that is “between ’stay the course’ and ‘cut and run.’” Bush responded, ‘We’ve never been stay the course, George!’ Watch it: Bush is wrong: BUSH: We will stay the course. [8/30/06] BUSH: We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq. [8/4/05] 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] 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] STEPHANOPOULOS: James Baker says that he’s looking for something between “cut and run” and “stay the course.” BUSH: Well, hey, listen, we’ve never been “stay the course,” George. We have been — we will complete the mission, we will do our job, and help achieve the goal, but we’re constantly adjusting to tactics. Constantly.
