Doug:

"Fli[p flop" is a term your guys invented as disapprobation.

The fact is, learning new solutions based on new data is one way to define sanity. Holding on to old solutions when it is clear the data is no longer giving you the best picture is a little bit nutsy.

This has to be differentiated from the ability to hold on to a purpose; you will find, I think that Obama's purpose to get the US out of Iraq as gracefully as possible, has been an unchanging intent from the beginning.
