The Vice President, last night, expressed condolences to President Ciampi who arrived in Washington, yesterday. Getting back to the call, though, the two leaders reaffirmed their strong commitment to stay the course in Iraq

But it's important that we stay the course and finish the job -- and that's what the President has continued to say -- and let the Iraqi people know that we are going to stay the course,

We will stay the course, we will prevail, and they will be defeated.

And that's why it's important to continue to stay the course and prevail. And we will.

...and it's important that we continue to stay the course and finish the job in Iraq.

5. Were all those "stay the course"
In actual context? Did Mclellan really say "stay the course" up to 5 times in one response to a question?

We never said that, except all the times we did.

6. In the above examples
Edited on Sun Oct-22-06 02:34 PM by troubleinwinter
he said "stay the course" five times each, in two press conferences. Seems he didn't usually say it more than two or three times in response to any one given question.
