Maybe he believes that he can reason with Iran to 'promote' democracy there, as we watch DC glow from one of their new nukes? What is he going to do? How is he going to 'promote' democracy while showing the face of an appeaser?
You are right, he has a disorder - he was born without a spine. He will read or say whatever he thinks will advance his career. He doesn't care if the speech he reads on Friday contradicts the speech he read on Tuesday. He has put his future in the hands of poll reading cretins from the Clinton era.

Bush needs to coopt the Two Americas theme. In Kerry's America, we are always at falt, we are always going to lose, and we are incapcable of doing more than one thing at a time. In Bush's America, we have the strength to tackle the hard problems, we fight for what we believe in, and we have a can do attitude.
