Is Bush ever going to take responsibility for ANYTHING?
Posted by Jill | 7:04 AM
"It's Clinton's fault." "It's the Democrats' fault." "It's the media's fault."

It's everyone's fault but that of George W. Bush.

Now he's gone completely over the edge, blaming the civil war in Iraq on Saddam Hussein, who's been out of power for two years:

President Bush said Wednesday that Saddam Hussein, not continued U.S. involvement in Iraq, is responsible for ongoing sectarian violence that is threatening the formation of a democratic government.

In his third speech this month to bolster public support for the war, Bush worked to counter critics who say the U.S. presence in the wartorn nation is fueling the insurgency.

Bush said that Saddam was a tyrant and used violence to exacerbate sectarian divisions to keep himself in power, and that as a result, deep tensions persist to this day.

"The enemies of a free Iraq are employing the same tactics Saddam used, killing and terrorizing the Iraqi people in an effort to foment sectarian division," Bush said.

The president also pushed Iraq to speed up the formation of a unity government, seen as the best option to subdue the violence gripping several Iraqi cities


Uh....George? Can you please put the rolled dollar bill and the mirror and the bottle of Jack Daniels down long enough to listen to me?

Sure....one more line, one more swig. I can wait.

Ready?

OK.

George, you simply can't have it both ways on this one. If Saddam Hussein is to blame for exacerbating sectarian tensions, then what on earth makes you think that the country is capable of putting together a unity government? And here's another one: If Saddam Hussein exacerbated sectarian tensions, how come we didn't see this kind of violence in Iraq while he was in power? Isn't it just possible that as awful as he was, the kind of iron fist he wielded kept the violence in check?

Sorry, George, but this one is ALL YOU FAULT. Say that along now...."IT'S ALL MY FAULT." Acknowledging a problem is the first step towards solving it. Try it. If you're lucky, admitting you screwed up might even allow you to save your sorry-ass legacy.
