“Stay the course” becomes “change the tactics”
I come back from vacation and find Bush whistling a different tune, suddenly claiming he never said we’re going to “stay the course” in Iraq, but that we will “change our tactics.”
So now “stay the course” means “change the tactics,” when before this any suggestion of “changing the tactics” meant “cut and run.” So is it “change the tactics” when Bush is forced into a corner by a threatened Democratic takeover of Congress but “cut and run” when Democrats suggest a change is sorely needed?
It’s good to be back from vacation and in the land of double-speak!
