In the face of mounting casualties and a growing threat of civil war in Iraq, George W. Bush yesterday urged Americans to stay the course and insisted that he had a plan for eventual victory.

Reaction among the American media was notably withering on Bush's performance with al-Jaafari and the President's insistence that America was making progress in Iraq. 'If the war is going according to plan, someone needs to rethink the plan,' said the New York Times.


------that's all we have to do folks, just have resolve and faith, two concepts that bush doesn't understand. resolve, to get the job done, and faith in god that it's all just and good and righteous.

you'll HAVE to do better than that georgey boy

1. God is merely a product to the republican party

15. Hi OKDem08!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

2. Mr.Impostor, we do have faith and resolve.

We just don't have faith in you. We have resolved to remove you from power.

3. Does your plan for victory have anything to do with leaving office

waving the victory sighn (intented) with both hands?? One can only hope so.

4. So if I have a plan for monkeys to fly out of my ass

But I was resolved and I stayed the course *slams fists on podium* and had faith *smirk*, it could happen.

"insisted that he had a plan for eventual victory"

Oh yeah? Let's hear it.

8. plan for eventual victory? uh, i have it right here in my vest pocket

can't show you though, it'd give aid and comfort to the eminee

5. "Return home with honor"

We have come full cycle on the Vietnam analogy.

The profiteering and fraud has proceeded at such an accelerated pace by the neo-cons that we are already at the "peace with honor" stage.

10. Operation "save face & declare victory"

we learned nothing from vietnam

[tavalon]

11. That stage comes after

the "stay the course" stage, right. It's been so long and I had so hoped to lay to rest that horrible boil from our history. I really don't think we should have to lance it again less than 40 years later!

6. Resolve is alright...

but faith is open ended, not subject to any time constraints. You're not asking for faith, you're asking for blind obedience.
The country has lost faith in you and has hit the wall with your once enjoyed "blind obedience" as well. You're going to have to come up with a new line, georgie. You keep using the same old lines again and again expecting different results. That's the tactic of a madman.

You're so unwilling to change or entertain new ideas, just like your father. "Stay the course, a thousand points of light, be patient, stay the course". You bush's are all alike, one trick ponies with no imagination and no ability to think on your feet.

You're not a lame duck, you're a cooked goose. Give reason and sanity a try for once, jackass.

7. Georgie has a secret plan to end the war!

Bet he sees a light at the end of the tunnel!

9. Man, that phrase "stay the course"

sure brings back memories and they aren't good memories.

14. i once thought daddybush was the world's worst orator

but no, it's jr. and 'stay the course'? god, it sounds like captain smith. and it's daddy's most famous phrase, second only to 'read my lips, no new taxes.

[EFerrari]

12. There he goes, disassembling again.

It's painful to watch him lie so baldly and so badly.

[necso]

13. The weird thing is that

I can appreciate their sense of humor.

...No, really.

[stray cat]

16. Bush should quit being a cheerleader and be a leader

If I thought he might actually speak the truth I might actually listen.
