Is Democratic pressure forcing Bush to flip-flop on Diplomatic efforts in the Middle East?

Question

Diplomatic efforts in the middle east seem to have eased the tension in those areas. Bush fought against any efforts of diplomacy prior to the Democratic Party taking control of the House and Senate. I think Democratic pressure is having an effect on Bush and that is a good thing.

Answer 1

It's an amazing thing that oversight. Six years of open waters and now choppy seas and getting worse. The democrats may not have enough votes to get anything passed in congress but they sure can make life miserable for the President and they are doing it. It's time, diplomacy is the only way out of Iraq other than just flat out leaving.

Answer 2

Have you noticed how the right wingers are getting even snippier in their replies? They know they be losing big time now a days and don't like it.
Yes -the Democrats are actually putting Bush in the very uncomfortable psition of having to crawl out of the sandbox and start playing with everybody.
Problem for him is it is much to late.Which is one of the reasons this shining icon of the far right will be rightfully be regarded historically as the worst American president ever.
Cheerio.

strong morning! Did you flow on holiday or something, you've been fairly for some days! What do you advise turn flopping? Have something decisive to teach this? what number turn Flops are we allowed? do we be prolonged a similar volume because the Waffle King John Kerry? i presumed as an open minded liberal - you should get excitement from the hot modern concept for a change in ME coverage? Are you putting forward that as conservatives we are not allowed to regulate our stance - even even if situations ought to dictate a change? i do not see him replacing his regulations and If he does i'd or gained't verify to help him.

Answer 4

Well, he is still planning to send the additional troops to Bhagdad, so there is no flip-flop there. Either way, with the Democratic majority it is only expected of the president to negotiate with them and maybe even shift his policies a bit. This is the same way it was with Clinton during his final years as president, and with many other presidents before him who had to face a majority of the opposing party.

Answer 5

Bush has always been a flip-flopper.

As long as Congress doesn't take away some of his power, even with his threats of Veto if any resolutions are passed by both houses - nothing will change. Leaving him with veto power - is like us not understanding that we are living in a dictatorship country ourselves. e.g. his "I'm the decider, and I decide." lecture.

Answer 6

Bush has less then 2 years to repair the legacy he has made for himself. He'll do anything to accomplish that even if it means doing what's best for our country.

Answer 7

You must not pay attention to facts. Because things pass in the House but are shot down hard core in the Senate

I wish I could agree with you, but I think Bush has something up his sleeve. This is the calm before the storm, I fear.
