Flip Flop #5

Dick Cheney, May 31st:
"The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."

Don Rumsfeld, June 26th:
"I would anticipate you're going to see an escalation of violence between now and the December elections... Insurgencies tend to go on five, six, eight, ten, twelve years... Coalition forces, foreign forces are not going to repress that insurgency."
