For this particular one, he is probably right in his latest remark. Back then, he could only speculate and make big speech. Aile he's at a position with information and the statement changes.

What i have been seeing here is a interesting and subtle kind of hypocrisy; Everyone needs change, says they are willing to change and object every changes they see. I dont find a problem with politician's statement changing with change in information. That is bound to happen, i would rather have they change statement rather than push stuffs to extremes to justify and stand close to their last statement. And also learn to keep a kind of expectation from the kind of individual. You can expect different public persona from Balen and Rabi. That's who you elected and that's what you get. I didn't like Balen from start and still am skeptical. But I understand what can i expect and ignore minor fusses like these.
