Bush is out stumping for Republican candidates who will most likely lose next week, and he keeps saying that Republicans are for winning in Iraq and Democrats are for losing. Well…..just what does it mean to win in Iraq, Mr. President?
Is it staying the course? That’s what you used to say, up until August, when apparently you realized how foolish it is to stay the course you’ve taken in Iraq. Why did you stop using that phrase, Mr. President? Why did you flip-flop just last week and say you’ve never been for stay the course, when public record is quite clear that you indeed say you were?
Is winning in Iraq leaving the country as a stable democracy? Is that what winning is for you? How are we getting there with the current strategy? You’ve had now three and a half years to prove yourself, Mr. President; the same amount of time it took Mr. Roosevelt to utterly destroy two of the most powerful nations on the planet—Japan and Germany. In three and a half years in Iraq, what have you done, Mr. President to provide America with a win? I see no evidence of a win. Just this month, 102 Americans gave their lives, the fourth highest total. Why are so many Americans still dying in Iraq? Why are so many Iraqis still dying in Iraq? I see no win Mr. President, and I think your policy is a failure.
You need to be impeached, Mr. President. But no politician has the balls to do that in today’s political climate.
Impeach impeach impeach. no blood for oil, bush lied kids died, Halliburton Halliburton, rah rah rah!
So humorous.
So can you provide a link to where Bush denied having a “stay the course” mindset, as you say here:
“Why did you flip-flop just last week and say you’ve never been for stay the course, when public record is quite clear that you indeed say you were?”

I’m not being humorous, nor even extreme, unless rational accountability is considered extreme these days, well then count me in.
As to Bush’s flip-flop, here are a few references with video of Mr. Bush claiming ‘We’ve never been stay the course, George!’
Bush: We’ve Never Been Stay The Course, George!
Bush’s new tack steers clear of “stay the course”
Bush drops stay the course slogan
Republicans for stay the course
This one is pretty interesting, because it shows Republican candidates all summer long talking about “staying the course.” Take a look at what Rick Santorum said:
So he was for “stay the course” before he was against it…

It’s a shame that Nancy Pelosi has taken impeachment off the table if the democracts win in November.

So long as Congressman Conyers remains in place, I don’t think it matters much what Nancy Pelosi has to say on the matter.
As for the question that O’Reilly tried to stump Letterman with, “Do you want to win the war in Iraq?”, I think it’s a meaningless question. If we win, what does that mean? I don’t care if we win or not, it’s only important that the Iraqi people “win”. How do they win? They get their lives back and the freedom to determine their own future without some foreign nation coming in to make an utter mess of things. Every moment longer we stay there only complicates the situation from their viewpoint.
Victory for us, if anything, means that no more American lives will need to be wasted there because a bunch of people in Washington, D.C. decided to make up stories about weapons of mass destruction and liberation.
