The old U-turn

There has been an entertaining surge in Democrat reversals on a surge. Here are a couple of well documented examples:

1. "When the Army Chief of Staff and the secretary of state say you're going to war without enough troops, you're going to war without enough troops."
Rep. Rahm Emanuel, July 12, 2006
"No democrat supports an escalation."
Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Jan.10, 2007

2. "If the commanders on the ground said this is just for one short period of time, we'll go along with that."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Dec. 17, 2006
"Escalating our military involvement in Iraq sends precisely the wrong message and we oppose it."
Jan. 11,2007 statement issued by Reid, Pelosi, Hoyer and Durbin

3."We have to consider the need for additional troops to be in Iraq to take out the militias, stabilize the country, I'd say 20,000-30,000 more."
Rep. Silvestre Reyes, chairman, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Dec. 5, 2006
"We don't have the capability to escalate to even this minimum level."
Reyes, Jan.11, 2007

Almost all dems were for it before they were against it.
