Dubya: Then and Now

Then: Bush indicated that he was running out of patience. Asked if he planned to set an ultimatum for Saddam's compliance, Bush suggested that would be pointless, like extending "another, another, another last chance." (CBS News, Feb 18, 2003)

Now: “I’ve picked the plan that I think is most likely to succeed,” Bush said in an Oval Office meeting with senior military advisers. “I know there is skepticism and pessimism and that some are condemning a plan before it’s even had a chance to work,” the president said. (AP, 8:43, Jan 26, 2007)

Isn't this just extending another, another, another last chance? And of course this one gambles with our troops' lives. Even more pointless, and utterly wrong.
