Some press conference flip-flopping

George W. Bush this morning:

I don’t think foreign policy is an either/or proposition.

George W. Bush, September 20, 2001:

Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.

So in terms of war, “either/or” is fine. In terms of human rights in “friendly” nations like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, China, and Russia, it’s not.
