Well, that's largely true but misses the point. The world is much different than it was in 2000. The War on Terrorism is real. Whether or not you agree with the Iraq War (and I never did) you can't call him a hypocrite for changing his foreign policy in the light of new and very important information.

You would expect the same from a good President.

Although terrorist threats are real, I don't consider our War on Terror to be anything but a method to ensure spending against it is the size of war spending. Bush is a war president who is the son of a war president who is the son of a Senator that was also made loads of money off wars. People do what they know.
