From yesterday's interview on This Week:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Is the government format to your standards right now?

BUSH: The government is — look, I think the guy's been in office for about four months, Maliki. In my judgment, Maliki has got what it takes to lead a unity government.

But what you're seeing is a new form of government actually beginning to evolve after years of tyranny.

I'm patient. I'm not patient forever. And I'm not patient with dawdling. But I recognize the degree of difficulty of the task, and therefore, say to the American people, we won't cut and run.

On the other hand, we'll constantly adjust our strategy to…

STEPHANOPOULOS: Exactly what I wanted to ask you about, because James Baker said that he's looking for something between cut and run…

BUSH: Cut and run and.

STEPHANOPOULOS: … and stay the course.

BUSH: Well, 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 the tactics, constantly.

Stay the course, even if it is evident that it is not working. Poor judgement at its best.
I have seen no evidence of strategy change in three years.

He has changed his policy. He is not going to utter the phrase "Stay the course." anymore. That appears to be the only change as far as I can tell.

It is not simply *poor judgement*.

It is patent insanity.

But then, that is what you get when dealing with the --"By Gawd I'm never changing MY mind, I don't care WHAT happens!!"-- rightwing fucktards.

I'm having a hard time reading the word judgement so often in reference to 'Dubya.
