Is Bush flip-flopping on "stay the course" his trying to save corrupt republican congress?

Question

The Bushit administration is suddenly dropping its broken record “stay the course” speal, proclaiming that it is all about “flexibility” on Iraq, according to the sellout White House press secretary Tony Snowjob.

“It left the wrong impression about what was going on,” Snowjob said.
( imagine that... those 3 words actually meant something else... LOL)

Now, many major media political commentators have found their testicles and career plans and characterized the Bush administration moves as a crass pre-election effort to seem to be doing something new on Iraq without making any real policy change, while also shifting blame to the Iraqi government.

The New York Times called it “stage-managing” a “supposed change of heart” by a president “worried that his party could lose some of its iron grip on power in the congressional elections next week.”

Meanwhile: monthly U.S troop deaths in Iraq rose, with the October toll at 91 so far, a mere fraction of the civilians death toll.

Answer 1

Bush sees the writing on the wall - the arrogant Republicans are going to lose control of both houses of Congress and he is scared! He's trying to make the American public believe that he is actually thinking and realizing that his policies ( and Dumbell Rumsfeld) are failures! Sadly, he is too stupid and bull-headed to really believe this - it is all show to try (hopelessly) to save the Republicans, but it is too late. Hopefully though - FINALLY - Rumsfeld will be fired!

Answer 2

This is about the weirdest election trick I've ever seen. They might as well bring David Copperfield and have Iraq disappear off face of Earth or something and tell people 'what Iraq?'.

Answer 3

The republican party is spending millions to buy your vote and smear the opponents. Now we know the voting machines, now being used since this administration, are being compromised. If they can't get the public to buy into their lies this time, they can always manipulate the votes. No paper trail, no proof of your vote.

Answer 4

I heard on the news it was 96 troops killed over in Iraq, doesn't really matter 1 was to many to me.
