stoor said:anymore means that it was a "slip of the tongue"? Are you this forgiving with liberals who do the same? I think that is a pretty big mistake to make when you are representing a nation that is perceived as Christian and referring to a region that is inhabitated by Muslims. And as a matter of fact, he didn't correct himself, his people said he misspoke. Find me a quote where he corrects himself.
"This crusade, this war on terrorism, is going to take awhile. And American people must be patient," Bush said.

Fine his people said he misspoke. Clearly a correction at that level. Show me that he is using the term loosely. You pulled up the one time that he mistakenly used the word and then call that loose usage?
An error is different than loose usage, and believe me if he used it loosely I would be right in line with you.
This is a President that has shown his strongest trait isn't communication skills that used a word one time at a place he shouldn't have. He misspoke. Had he been saying the word daily I would certainly agree it was loose usage of the word.
Oh and BTW, the "this war on terrorism," part of the sentence was the correction that I spoke about. I listened to the speech, it was clear he was correcting himself by his body language and tone.
