Thinkprogress on Flip-Flopping, part deux.

Following up on our earlier post about Rumsfeld and credibility/transparency then and now, thinkprogess today has a great one about Bush and his feelings on timetables, as they relate to military excursions:

George W. Bush, 6/5/99

“I think it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.”
...

George W. Bush, 6/24/05:

“It doesn’t make any sense to have a timetable. You know, if you give a timetable, you’re — you’re conceding too much to the enemy.”

No further comments really necessary, I think.
