Recent Flip Flops in Iraq.

-- U.S. Marines issued a number of ultimatums to the Fallujah rebels holding out in the rebellious town, then cut deals with them and settled on allowing the newly formed Fallujah Brigade to take control of the town. Some members of the new brigade are former militiamen who fought the Marines.

-- Banishing former Baathists then naming a Baathist Republican Guard general to command the Fallujah Brigade, then only a day later ousting him and replacing him with another former Iraqi army general.

-- Calling Iran a member of the "axis of evil," and then negotiating with Iran over the Moqtada Sadr debacle.

-- Sidelining the United Nations on Iraq and now placing great hope on Lakhdar Brahimi, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan's special envoy to Iraq, hoping he can pull a proverbial rabbit out of the Iraqi hat.

The list goes on.
