Fox News: Bush is considering changing the 'tactics' in Iraq, but not the 'strategy'?

Hah! And I always thought 'tactics' and 'strategy' were synonyms.

This man Bush is a fountain of knowledge and wisdom, isn't he?

For those of you who thought that he had neither 'tactics' nor 'strategy' in Iran, you were wrong!

Now, can anybody tell me what these 'tactics' are/were?

You know, the one he is considering changing.

Update:

Me??

No, my girl, I hate any kind of uniform, herd mentality, forced discipline, et al. You must be thinking of the 'Decider' The Cowboy - in-Chief!

Update 2:

Update 3:

Thre are so many good answers, I am going to leave the question to the vote.

So vote!

    Well, he plans to add more troops (put them at risk). The tactics are the methods of fighting and the strategy is the end result (democracy).

    Actually know one really knows what he is doing, his cabinet, the UN, the Military, Senate/Congress, or the American People. He changes like a light bulb. All he cares about if going down in the history books as a war President. So the end result is his goal not the means to the end (lost lives, billions spent).

    We need a change soon. Even our troops are upset. Sure he makes it sound like we dont support our troops if we complain about the war, want to pull out, or are against it in any way. That is not true. Our soldiers do not support it but they can not complain because they must follow the chain of command and Bush is at the top.

    I know my son is serving in Iraq right now and her tells me that things need to change and that Bush and his cabinet (Rumsfeld, Chaney etc) are pushing down our throats.

    Know of an Anti-War rally, I will attend.

    Yup and you also think wiretapping without the consent of congress or oversight of the courts (and whatever else he is doing) is just the hunkey-dorry thing to do.

    Poor idiot, up until this morning he was still saying our only option was victory but he had to change his tune right as he spoke cuz mr james baker III told him it was time to change strategies and that victory was not in the picture! Can you imagine some one coming in to find solutions for president Clinton? Not a likely scenario, he was in control at all times.

    his strategy was : say the course... which he is keeping

    his tactics are: kill terrorists

    his new tactic is: kill more terrorists

    in other words.. he has no strategy or tactics.... and hopes he can tap dance for two years until he gets out of office by saying "tactics" and "strategy" a lot
