just so I've got this straight in my head

Without references, because I know I read both of these on multiple reputable sources, and you can go look them up yourself if you're that way inclined: When pressed on the issue, El Shrubya said that he, too, wanted to shut down Guantanamo, but was somehow stuck waiting for the Supreme Court; however, when the Supreme Court made their decision, he said he didn't like it and was going to continue on the original track anyway.

That about right?

I think he said he wanted to shut down Gitmo in the hopes of swaying the Supreme Court to rule in his favor. D'oh! He's got Congress eating out of his hand (to put it much, much less obscenely than I'd like), but poor Dubya can't get the entire Supreme Court to do his bidding, even though he stacked it.

Wait now, wasn't he the one accusing Kerry of flip flopping?

Another supreme effort by the commander in chief on PC'ness.
