I am another who believes this is part of the strategy to co-opt the terminologh of the left. In this way the left is left (get it) with no political platform that resonates with their own. (Yes Islam is a great religion, but some of its adherants must be killed, before they do another great wrong to the West.)
He has done this to education as well, and if you look for this strategy you may see it in aspects of Ashcroft's running of the justice department.
It looks like a cabbie's strategy of making four left turns, apologizing all the way, after you told him to turn right, except the cabbie gets around to making the right turn once he's padded your meter reading by four blocks. Bush won't make the right turn after all, you watch.
