Default Falsifier in Chief: "We’ve never been stay the course"

Is there any baldfaced lie that this chump (chimp) won't stoop to? Apparently The Lyin' King knows his days in Iraq are numbered, so to prepare for his inevitable retreat, he's begun the propaganda barrage:


Quote:

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:


http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/22...tay-the-course/


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]



Full transcript:

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.

He has posted a barefaced lie from your supreme master. If you cant deal with the truth, then buy an island with a cave and stay there. Once its all died down, i'll give you a message via telegram and you can come home. That way you dont have to defend the 'exit strategy' because you wont know about it.

cdpatten has been declared an "unlawful combatant".The Craggy Island Army (CIA),following its new policy of "rendition",has transferred him to a secure facility where he will undergo re-education until the Global War on Truth has been won.

Habeas corpus no longer applies.

Well, actually MP I've recently started creating videos of Preznit Pretzel Logic, complete with full studio mock-ups of various news shows and etc.

They look so real, who's gonna know?!

He never posts about anything else, though! Don't be fooled: Many of Wurm's opponents such as Wolfix, Bill and Colorado Rider may well not be voting for Bush anyway for whatever reason. In spite of that, Wurm just keeps posting and copying and pasting data that backs his theory that all global problems are the fault of Bush Junior when, in actual fact, Bush is just a figurehead and gets most of his policies from those around him.
Wurm also ignores the bombing of Serbia under Clinton, the way Clinton used Iraq as a scapegoat when he was pressured over Monica Lewinsky and then bombed Iraq to distract attention from himself. I figure it was actions like these that created the climate for global terror but Wurm tends to neatly place all the blame at Bush's feet.
It's an obsession and you find yourself wondering when does he cycle?
His opponents keep telling him they probably won't vote for Bush regardless but Wurm just keeps on with his copyings and pastings.
Hell, even Fred C got tired of it all.

Contrary to your delusional thinking Carrera, I don't think "all global problems are the fault of Bush Junior". There is plenty of blame to go around in the Congress, the Pentagon, the Main Stream Media and to a large extent the People themselves. Not to mention the complicity of other nations such as your own with Mr Blair. I've said so on innumerable occasions.

Just to pull you back into reality.

I don't "ignore" Clinton's doings, but whatever he might have done is so far removed from the immediate concerns that they have no place being discussed in the same breath. To do so is only to try to distract from the current issues.

Now if you want to come at the OT again, but from a relevant and honest viewpoint, I'll listen.

I of course believe this is all disingenuous backpedaling, and I don't trust the guy as far as I could throw him, and I hold much contempt for he and his friends over several issues, but to be fair here since we are throwing out quotes from past speeches, etc, here is apparently one from Nov 2005.


"Some critics continue to assert that we have no plan in Iraq except to stay the course," Bush said in November 2005.
"If by stay the course, they mean we will not allow the terrorists to break our will, they are right. If by stay the course, they mean we will not permit al Qaeda to turn Iraq into what Afghanistan was under the Taliban -- a safe haven for terrorism and a launching pad for attacks on America -- they are right, as well," the president said. "If by stay the course, they mean that we're not learning from our experiences, or adjusting our tactics to meet the challenges on the ground, then they're flat wrong." (Washington-CNN)


Like I said, I still have little faith in the overall integrity issue here, but it's a little silly to argue about semantics here. Might as well keep the argument to the outright lies (not the ones able to be obscured in semantics) - which of course are readily available.

The lies that were put forward by the Bush administration from February 2002 to March 2003, making the case for war continue to haunt them.

The unethical decision to invade Iraq in 2003 is being compounded now.
Iraq has descended in to chaos.
Countless lives have been lost - factional and sectarian warfare is rife - since
2003.

Unfortunately what may happen next, in my opinion, will ultimately determine the future of Iraq.
If the Americans leave - Iraq will totally implode.
If the Americans stay - Iraq will continue to fracture and could possibly implode later.
Doomsday scenario.

James Baker - like him or loath him - is a shrewd operator.
My bet is that Baker is attempting to put the gloss on an American withdrawal.

What I'm saying is Bush is just part of the problem. The obsession over Iraq has been going on for decades and my personal view is it was the sanctions against this country that sparked the so-called global war on terror.
What we had under Clinton was a situation whereby Iraqi children were wasting away in impoverished hospitals because the U.S. and U.K. Governments insisted the country be denied medicines and necessary supplies.
What Bush tried to do was end sanctions via a decisive military operation.
In both cases, the Iraqi people suffered huge loss of life, malnutrition, instabilty and, in some cases, torture.
Sadly, the Islamic fanatics chose to hit back by targeting everyday Americans in New York as they figured it was tit for tat. It was equally twisted thinking.
What can you conclude? Basically, to my mind, the hate and mistrust between Americans and Iraqis was caused by politicians and fanatics on both sides. Most Americans probably don't know or weren't shown the images of children wasting away in hospitals because Clinton and co wouldn't end the sanctions and bury the hatchet.
Hate spreads hate and that's what we see today. I also think Bush has learned his lesson in part. I think he has had to do some hard thinking and is now in a real fix.

Rubbish.

The war on terror was coined after September 11th 2001.
The perpetrators of that attack were Saudi Arabian and were supported from Afghanistan.

Iraq had not involvement in September 11th 2001 attacks.

The sanctions imposed on Iraq were actually pushed through the UN during 1988-1992 US presidency.

It is true that these sanctions continued during the 1992-2000 US presidency.

The New York attacks happened at 11th September 2001.

The invasion of Iraq took place in March 2003.

There was no tit for tat as you put it.

There was a cosy relationship between both sides from 1979-1991.

This:

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.

Has always been the message. If you want to quote out of context then more power to you....it only makes you look stupid but don't let me stop you.

I am no Bush fan but facts are facts.

This is nothing more than Drive By Media. Two weeks before the elections and the DemocRATS are getting desparate about their voter turnout so they will do anything to supress Republican turnout. Get used to it. This is all you will read about until Nov 7, Wurms D-Day.
