One of the best parts of the Center for American Progress/American Progress Action Fund's research is the right sidebar that contrasts the quotes of different folks who should be on the same side, or the contradictory quotes people make themselves. The one for today is yummy:

"It doesn't make any sense to have a timetable. You know, if you give a timetable, you're -- you're conceding too much to the enemy."
-- George W. Bush, 6/24/05

VERSUS

"The President should also lay out a timetable for how long American troops will be involved and when they will be removed."
-- George W. Bush, 6/3/99
