He's firing it, lobbing it, across those mountains, indiscriminately targeting civilians in Albania,
He couldn't dump the bomb at that point. It was locked. It was going to the target and it was an unfortunate incident we all regret. We certainly don't want to do collateral damage. The mission was to take out the bridge. He realized when it had happened that he had not hit the bridge, that what he had hit was the train.
Just looking at the environment, the breakdown in Iraqi defense system, and the fact that we're in there in that urban area, we're not a good target for the use of chemical weapons even if Saddam could throw them at us, and I think the guess would be he can't at this point,

Staying the course is not a strategy, it is just a slogan,
My opponents on the inside have said that the American people shouldn't hold them responsible for everything that happens because we don't understand how things work in Washington,
