Stubborn arrogance or wisdom?
Reuters reports:
The vote flip-flop charge is an obvious insinuated lie. Bush knows perfectly well that Kerry's vote against was because he wanted it paid for rather than charged on the government's credit card.
Much more telling is Bush's second statement. Where was this speaking clearly and consistently when intelligence agencies and experts were warning that the WMD "evidence" was iffy at best? Even now his Vice President continues to make false claims about Iraq even though they've been debunked and refuted.
What would you rather have - a President who ignores reality to bullheadedly pursue war or one who will adjust to reality?
What Bush is really advocating here is perpetual war where we never ever learn anything from our mistakes because to do so would somehow be weak. This is NOT what I expect from my President.

He criticized Kerry for voting against funding for operations in Iraq, when last year "he had a completely different view" and advocated an increase in funding.
"What's critical is that the president of the United States speak clearly and consistently at this time of great threat in our world, and not change positions because of expediency or pressure," Bush said. "We cannot waver because our enemies will not waver."
