They’ve Flipped Because The Policy Has Flopped

Republicans are now claiming that they’re no longer in favor of a “stay the course” strategy in Iraq.

    No, they’ve never said “stay the course”, it has always been “adapt to win”
    adapt to win…..
    adapt to win….
    adapt to win…..

    Rinse and repeat.

    Now, now, a person has a right to change their mind based on results, grant them that. They fail, however, if they’re just changing their mind to appease the public.
