The spin room has picked up on George's words and spinning the term around to leave the impression all is fine....
Quote:
The US president, George Bush, is under increasing pressure to change American strategy on Iraq amid increasing violence and mounting US casualties, and Republican fears of heavy electoral losses in the midterm elections, now just two weeks away.
The White House press secretary Tony Snow acknowledged yesterday that Mr Bush was no longer saying that the United States would "stay the course" in Iraq.
"He stopped using it," Mr Snow said of the phrase, adding that the expression gave the impression that the administration was not adjusting its strategy to the realities in Baghdad.

So.... It's not really that "we" have changed our minds - it's just that "we" don't use the words "stay on course" any longer
