Double Talk

AITOOW wants to choke politicians that take both sides of an issue. Take Iraq and troop levels. First they said we must maintain a small imprint or it would be an occupation - the reason we lost the hearts and minds in Vietnam. Then they said we didn't have enough troops. Now they say we are too stretched (which is why Rumsfeld didn't want to commit all our forces to begin with. Does anyone remember we were inching towards war with North Korea). On oil: we can't "loan" them money for reconstruction we have to give it to them or it will seem like this was an imperialistic war. Now it's the Iraqi's should pay us back. On civil rights: all people are equal. Now it's Iraqi's are too primitive for democracy. On the surge - it's working. Now after minor attacks, it's chaos. Sounds like everyday life in Israel if you ask me. On diplomacy: We should talk with our enemies. Now it's boycott the Bejing Olympics. I could go on but what's the point. They'll still be jumping from one position to another and our ADD society will ignobly ignore it.
