Bush: I WON'T change strategy in Iraq ("It's tough! It's tough!)
Edited on Fri Oct-20-06 09:10 PM by Bluebear
WASHINGTON - President Bush conceded Friday that "right now it's tough" for American forces in Iraq, but the White House said he would not change U.S. strategy in the face of pre-election polls that show voters are upset.

With Republicans anxious about the potential loss of Congress — and with conditions seemingly deteriorating in Iraq — Bush addressed the question of whether he would alter his policies.

"We are constantly adjusting our tactics so that we achieve the objective, and right now it's tough, it's tough," Bush said in an Associated Press interview.

Presidential spokesman Tony Snow said that while Bush might change tactics, he would not change his overall strategy. "He's not somebody who gets jumpy at polls," Snow said of Bush.

1. He's also not somebody who gets jumpy at telling lies or letting
hundreds of thousands of men, women, babies; fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers DIE for his lies.

3. Go ahead. Thumb your nose at the world. You'll get your butt kicked.
Sooner rather than later, hopefully. Like in November, around the 7th.

4. Thus proving his disregard for the American soldier...
...not to mention the soldier's families.

And I don't want to hear that bullshit of "well they volunteered..."

BULLSHIT

Their voluntary status DOES NOT VALIDATE the decision of the jack ass in the White House to start an unneeded, unjustfied war.

5. He already said he won't withdraw from Iraq, even if
Laura and Barney are the only ones supporting him.

10. Does this unwittingly lend credence to Woodwards new book?
And the quote from Glorious Godly Ruler that even if only Laura and Barney the Dog supported him he wouldn't leave Iraq?

And by further inference that more of Woodward's book is true and accurate?
