I think South Park said it best.

Franklin believes that the new country must not seem to be a war-monger to the rest of the world; at the same time it cannot seem to be weak either. Therefore it must go to war, but allow protests. The United States will go to war on one hand, and use protest to oppose the war on the other. He refers to the this as "saying one thing" and "doing another". One member refers to this as "having our cake and eating it too".

I don't know if it's worse to quote SP, or wikipedia, but I just did.
And it is as poignant now, as it was in the early 2000's when they were protesting the war.
