this one is easy peasy.

see, there is the course that george w bush has been staying in his various pronouncements concerning "reality" in iraq, there is the course that the war has been staying, the one of constant movement but then again any course that is to be stayed in a war would be constant movement except that doesnt play well but in the main the only course that has been stayed is that of what george w bush says and like most things that george w bush says this staying of the course has no necessary relationship to anything other than itself. so previously when george w bush would speak about staying the course what he really meant was that when he said things about iraq they would always be the same things and to the extent that they were always the same things he would personally be staying the course and as the decisionmaker, the commander in chief, the Leader, the Embodiment of the Nation, Fountainhead of the American Juche Idea, when george w bush says that the course is being stayed why then the course is being stayed even if that course that is being stayed applies only to the sentences within which the phrase "stay the course" is used. now of course there has always been a potential distance between staying the course in sentences and staying the course in more complex areas where the course that is being stayed is diffuse and things keep changing around, but previously that distance was not acknowledged but now it is. so what george w bush meant when he said that they staying of the course in the sentences about staying the course in iraq did not in fact mean, nor did they ever mean, that any course was being stayed beyond the one that linked the phrase "war in iraq" to the phrase "stay the course." he is still in fact staying the course because the phrase "war in iraq" and "stay the course" continue to be used in proximity to each other so the course is stayed. also staying the course in sentences has nothing to do with staying the course in the empirical world and everyone has always known this and so by saying that we will no longer say that we are staying the course the course is in fact continuing to be stayed at another level, that of the non-meshing of statements and reality. because before, when we were staying the course what we really meant was that we were exploring options within the general context of incoherence, which is itself operates within the general context of an illegitimate war--- and to the extent that we have remained incoherent while exploring other options we have in fact been staying the course while of course not exactly staying the course, but in a general way the course has been stayed yes. now the risk in appearing to no longer stay the course in sentences about staying the course in iraq is that the Will, the Resolve of the Leader, the Decisionmaker, the fountainhead of the American Juche Ideal could be interpreted as wavering when in fact that Will remains constant as we have explained. so do not be fooled by this apparent shift away from staying the course in sentences, in all other ways the course is being stayed and in this way we stay the course and will continue to do so. so we are continuing to stay the course even as we say now we are no longer saying that we are staying the course it was always the same course that we were staying, the one that obtained for sentences about the war in iraq which never referred to the actually existing war in iraq except as a normative kinds thing, a theater of the proper relation between the Nation and its Boys as embodied in the course that was being stayed and the Leader who was staying the course. so staying the course was always an edifying exercize, something directed at you, Amurica, and was always an imperative never a descriptive. and we continue to think that you, Amurica, should stay the course of modelling your relationship to the war in iraq on that of the Dear Leader, the Fountainhead of the American Juche Ideal, but we now think that you have learned this behaviour and the Dear Leader can begin to move onto other areas like exploring all options, which He always was doing anyway and so even as we no longer say the course is being stayed in fact the course is being stayed nothing has really changed except that the People have learned a little and we can now move to more Complex Types of Relations. so now we will all explore all options together but always the same options being explored together and so no matter what we do there will be a course and that course will be being stayed even as we explore all options that exploration is a course and to the extent that we will explore them we will stay the course and so not to worry there is nothing really changing here we have always meant this.

see?
easy peasy.
