GWB distances himself from... GWB
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!"
ThinkProgress has the video here but, unfortunately for BushCo, they also have the transcripts of a sampling of what GWB has been saying for the last three years and it's pretty clear that the Flip-flopper-in-Chief is at it again.
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]

How can Bush make such a statement? I honestly think he has psychological problems. I don't know what else could explain it.
I can't explain it. It's either that they've been able to get away it without serious poilitical consequences (you notice that Stephanopoulos doesn't call him on it) for so long that they have become "emboldened" or else it is some kind of "psychological problems" i.e. pathological liars or perhaps, like a spoiled (and very young) child, they lie because they wish it were so.
Whatever the reason, it is bizarrely blatant.
