Bush said that "there's no question that October was a tough month. We lost 103 soldiers. It was a tough month because we were on the offense, the enemy was on the offense — the enemy was trying to affect us."
Can both sides really be on the offense?
And by saying "affect" does he mean "kill"?

Yes, both can be on the offense. It isn't a football field with rules about who can initiate attacks. When both sides are attacking, the casualties mount.
"affect" has an emotional aspect. He means they are trying to get an emotional response out of us to lessen our ability to fight them.
Have they succeeded with you?

According to Bush, YES, as for what Mr. Bush means can be debated, but not by me, I've second guessed him quite enough.

Both sides can be on offense. They don't have to take turns attacking.

Bush: Stay the course translated into english is: Stand still and lose.
The ignorance of the righties on military strategy is appauling.
