Flip-flopping.
Cheney in 1992:
"And the question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam (Hussein) worth? And the answer is not that damned many. So, I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the president made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq."
Bush-Cheney flip-flops cost America in blood
If the right can call Kerry a flip-flopper, then so can the left.
Just for the record - I don't see anything necessarily wrong with flip-flopping. That's what logical people do. When presented with a better piece of information it is OK to change your mind. I'm just getting sick of the right relentlessly bashing on Kerry and others for flip-flopping when they've done it on multiple occasions.
