Oh my gosh, another * flip flop.....
Meanwhile, Bush bowed to election-year pressures and said he now supports giving a new national intelligence director "full budgetary authority." Earlier, he had spurned the Sept. 11 commission's call for such powers for the proposed post.

"It's important we get our intelligence gathering correct. After all, we're still at war," Bush told congressional leaders at the White House before flying to Florida to inspect hurricane damage.

1. Here's how USAToday sees it: they "had not previously openly endorsed...
... that aspect of the commission's recommendations."

So see?! It wasn't a flip-flop! It was an 'opening of a previously closed position'! Or something like that.

2. Flip- Flop? Flip-Flop? Man! That's called leadership.
I'm against a 9-11 commission
All Right. All Right already, here's Kissinger to look into things
I support a 9-11 commission
I won't testify
I won't testify under oath
I'll testify with Cheney by my side. And not under oath.
We'll look at the recommendations from the commission
They have made some good points
I support a puppet by my side with no budget and run from the WH
I support a budget for new office

Are we clear understanding the Commander-in-Chief?
