We're not 'staying the course'...

We're 'maintaining our current heading'-- completely different thing!

Bush, Blair Assess Iraq Study Group's Report - washingtonpost.com

President Bush said today that the United States needs "a new approach" in Iraq, but he implicitly rejected a key recommendation of a bipartisan panel that issued a hard-hitting report yesterday: the holding of direct talks with Iran and Syria independently of other issues.

In a joint White House news conference with visiting British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bush hailed the report by the Iraq Study Group as "very constructive" and "worthy of serious study." However, he also noted that it was just one of several studies to consider in determining "the way forward" in Iraq. And he said that neither Congress nor his administration would "accept every recommendation" in the report.
"What can you make of the ISG report, George?"
"This? Why, I can make a hat... or a brooch... or a pterodactyl..."
