WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush offered up a new entry for his catalog of "Bushisms" on Thursday, declaring that his administration will "never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people."

Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said.

"They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

No one in Bush's audience of military brass or Pentagon chiefs reacted.

The president was working his way toward a larger point. "We must never stop thinking about how best to defend our country. We must always be forward-thinking," he said.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush's misstatement "just shows even the most straightforward and plain-spoken people misspeak."

"But the American people know this president speaks with clarity and conviction, and the terrorists know by his actions he means it," McClellan said.”

“I saw that. Funny stuff. :)”

“He means it?

What? What is this thing McClellan says he means???? LOL”

“Has he lost it?
Judge for yourself:

"By some strange operation of magic I seem to have become the power of the land"

"there is no comfort like that of going into battle with the certainty of winning"

"I could become dictator or anything else that might please me – but nothing of that kind would please me – therefore I won’t be Dictator."

"The good of my country requires me to submit to all this from men whom I know to be greatly my inferior socially, intellectually and morally! There never was a truer epithet applied to a certain individual than that of the Gorilla"”

“Flakier than Kellogg's!”

“Yes. No wonder Abraham fired him”
