He said we should not compare Iraq to Nam and now he is comparing Iraq to Nam.
For those of you who don't know, a word about the award. The Golden Flip Flop is awarded to that politician or other public figure who has demonstrated the most outlandish reversal of policy or position for political or person expediency. It is awarded by the NAGCM (National Assn of Grifters and Con-Men) on a yearly basis. The Golden Flip Flop is manufactured in China by forced prison labor. It is shipped to India (in accordance with offshoring policies) and given a 24 carat gold plating, which happily obliterates the "Made in China" label and encases the poisonous lead content from the cheap Chinese manufacturing process. The Flip Flop is awarded by the Grand FooBar of the NAGCM, whose identity is carefully guarded, but who is rumored to be a former politician now serving time in a federal lock-up.

The Iraq/Nam comparison flip flop isn't Pres. Bush's first.
Seeing as he's the President, the Big Chief, he should win this dubious honor!

Most definetely think John Kerry took that medal...
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
Though flip-flopping is done by both sides....

No. The top contender for this infamous award is Baracka Hussein Obama, the polly-parrot and copycat politician, who has no record, has done nothing positive in his past state representative position, and continues to do nothing in the U.S. Senate, except to copy and parrot the other senators.

his avoidance of service in viet nam, makes any reference of that war by bush ludicrous.

Nobody can beat Hillary on that. She is the undisputed world champ.

He’s not flip-floppin’… he’s waffling!
You do know about apples and trees, right?
