Bush The Flip-Flopper
It was only a couple of months ago that Bush referred to Democrats who wanted to talk to Iran as appeasers:
Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before.
