WASHINGTON SPIN DIN

George W Lectures George W About Diplomatic Patience.

These days we keep hearing George W remind us, “Diplomacy takes time. You have to be patient.”

The question is, who is the guy talking to? We’re patient. Most people we know are patient. We think he’s really encouraging George W himself to partake of the virtue.

Listen to this collection of recent quotes. Is this a George on George conversation or what?

"These problems didn't rise overnight, and they don't get solved overnight"

"You know, the problem with diplomacy, it takes a while to get something done. If you're acting alone, you can move quickly."

"It's painful in a way for some to watch because it takes a while to get people on the same page."

About time. Too bad he didn’t do a George-to-George pep talk about Iraq before we got ourselves into that wreck. But better late than never. Let’s just hope he listens to his own best George.
