When this was tried, it was viciously and jeeringly attacked as "flip-flopping" by everyone in the administration, a lack of resolve, a lack of understanding, and an indication that anyone saying that was unfit to be a leader.

It would be nice if they were truthful about it. It merely takes a sentence or two. "Yes, I voted to support war etc. Yes, I said there were weapons. However, I have changed my mind and do not support this war any longer." But, then I forget. There might not be an honest politician anywhere on this planet.

Bush and company slammed the door on that approach very soundly. Unless they have changed their position now - but wouldn't that be inconsistent flip-flopping after all the 2004 campaign rhetoric they put on the record?

It's a glaring contradiction. I agree with you about the lack of honest politicians just about anywhere. Party affiliation is certainly no guaranteed of ethics or morals on either side.
