The revelation the other day from Scottie "Please Dont Hit Me, Helen" McClellan, that a Democratic plan for withdrawal was "remarkably similar" to the Administration's own plan did not produce the kind of head jerk, 'say what?' response out of the media that I expected.
Wasn't it just a week or so ago that any withdrawal would be a victory for the insurgents? Wasn't it just days ago that any withdrawal would be a recipe for disaster? Is Bush throwing in his lot with the terrorists, or has he finally seen reality for what it is?
It always struck me as ironic, during the '04 campaign, that the derisive cry the Repugs used on Kerry was 'flip-flop'. Come on, no REAL man ever changes his mind.... he carries regardless of the situation or the odds to his pre-determined end.... did The Duke ever change HIS mind?
My take was that the Repugs considered their positions as God-given and immutable, and therefore, were incapable of change. Recent events have pretty much borne that out. And NOW, Bush is starting to show signs of maturity and the ability to learn from experience?
Five years late, but hey, it's a start.
