He also said the military would be given the "green light" to go after the terrorists/insurgents/whathaveyou's.
If the troop level increase involves a modified/different strategy and tactics, then it is not "stay the course" and remains to be seen if it works.
"Stay the course" has a different meaning apparently to you lefties than it does those on the right. You keep presenting as the same-old same-old when Bush clearly presented in the context of finishing what we started.
The only alternative offered by the left is immediate withdrawal; which, is an unacceptable alternative.
