Bush says what he thinks and does what he says. he has been saying stay the course since prior to his second term. Guess what - he is staying the course.
The plan is vague. I know if I were Bush, I would say I am alreading addressing the issues in the bill veto'd. He has not needed to say it, but if the bill had any real support his "machine" would have picked it apart, starting with how vague it is. The bill was pure theater.

THey compromised out of necessity because they did not have a veto proof majority?

Here we go again. People with convictions, don't compromise those convictions.

Why is that so hard to understand.

Because I have a few convictions that I would not compromise. I some cases I would choose death over compromise. So when people say they feel strongly about an issue and then turn-around and compromise, I truly don't get it, other than to assume what they said was b.s. to begin with.

In the end, the Dems caved. I was dissapointed to see this, but at same time, see no merit in going back and forth with a bill..a veto..another bill..another veto.....that accomplished nothing.
IMO, the hyprocrisy and the moral low ground can be found among the many Repubs who have publicly and privately said the current policy is failing, but continue to support the Pres for political reasons..rather then whats best for the troops or the country.
At the very least, the process put many Repubs on the record saying they expect to see serious progress by September if they are to continue to support the failed Bush strategy.

I lump them all together when I referred to Congress.
