While it does bother me very slightly that he's going back on a phrase he's repeated many times, this isn't really that big a deal. He's not denying that he's used the phrase 'stay the course'; he's simply clarifying that strategy by explaining that it doesn't mean they're not adjusting on a tactical level on the ground.
This says more about the emptiness of 'stay the course' as an easily-packaged slogan than it does about the merits or drawbacks of the administration. All politicians use such slogans, I think.
