George Bush has added another verbal gaffe to his long list of blunders.
The latest addition to the catalogue of Bushisms came as he addressed Pentagon chiefs during the signing ceremony of a defence spending bill.
The US President said: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.
"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 to the mistake.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush's error "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," he said.
