The Latest Bush "Change of Heart"

And the neocons always accuse the Dems of flip-flopping.
Back in 2004, John Kerry proposed increasing the size of the military. Bush's response was that that would somehow make the country less safe. These days with Bush's adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan in shambles, he is proposing such an increase.
(Quote from above site) As recently as six months ago, President Bush was sticking to his guns. From a June 14, 2006, “Statement of Administration Policy“:
The Administration opposes increases in minimum active Army and Marine Corps end strengths in Title IV, because they could require DoD to maintain a higher personnel level than is needed. The restructuring of the Army and the Marine Corps, plus other initiatives, is enabling our military to get more warfighting capability from current end strength.
You may recall the debates between Bush and Gore for the 2000 election. Bush denounced the Clinton administration for assisting Europe in stopping the Genocide in Bosnia. He said he would "never use our military for what I call nation-building." Now, politicians have lied before. They have broken promises before. In fact George senior is famous for going back on his "read my lips, no new taxes" speech. George junior's bare-assed lie about using the military to create regime change in Iraq has to rank up there as perhaps the biggest broken campaign promise of all time.
