For the "flip-flop" crowd: A look at Bush's reversals Tuesday, March 30, 2004 Posted: 5:21 PM EST (2221 GMT) cnn.com (AP) -- President Bush's decision Tuesday to allow his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, to testify publicly before the commission investigating the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks reversed earlier White House insistence that she would only appear privately. Some previous Bush reversals in the face of criticism: He argued a federal Department of Homeland Security wasn't needed, then devised a plan to create one. He resisted a commission to investigate Iraq intelligence failures, but then relented. He also initially opposed the creation of the independent commission to examine if the 2001 attacks could have been prevented, before getting behind the idea under pressure from victims' families. He opposed, and then supported, a two-month extension of the commission's work, after the panel said protracted disputes over access to White House documents left too little time. He at first said any access to the president by the commission would be limited to just one hour but relaxed the limit earlier this month.
