“Absolutely” Winning a Month Before We Were, Uh, “Not Winning”

posted by on December 20 at 11:02 AM

Today’s Washington Post scoop shows that John Kerry’s not the only one to have committed a mammoth “flip-flop” on the Iraq War.

As he searches for a new strategy for Iraq, Bush has now adopted the formula advanced by his top military adviser to describe the situation. “We’re not winning, we’re not losing,” Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post. The assessment was a striking reversal for a president who, days before the November elections, declared, “Absolutely, we’re winning.

That is not a flip flop. Bush was hopeful that we we’re winning but now is more realistic. A flip flop is taking a diametrically opposite stance on an issue. See the difference?

PGR is right. Not a flip-flop. It can't be a flip-flop if both statements are lies.

We're neither winning or losing because we've already won, rememeber? Mission Accomplished? Come on, we're done.

Asshat, thy name is George.

I can't believe that anyone in the public or the media takes Bush even remotely seriously anymore.

Every word out of that man's mouth has been a proven lie, and every action has been a pathetic failure, except for the massive enrichment of himself and his cronies, of course.

He's like a wind up toy that just spouts nonsense.

PS. Perhaps you heard about Goldman Sachs CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, and his $53,400,000 annual 2006 bonus?

Remember, Up is Down.

Can we have the Victory Parade and leave, then?

Maybe Lloyd Blankfein can pay for it.

Bush was actually quoting someone else when he said that (if you read the interview transcript), for what it's worth, but the article didn't mention that he was quoting.

Relax Andrew, that's only $26,000+/hour.
