Canadian Cynic

Whose fault is it? Why, it's Saddam's fault!

In the true Republican spirit of blaming someone else -- anyone else -- for the ongoing chaos and carnage in Iraq, we have conservative blogger and consummate whacked-out dingbat Andrew Sullivan who writes of Bush's recent speech here:

"... The critical point that the swift victory over Saddam paradoxically made the occupation more difficult - because Saddam's minions were able to escape, melt into the population and fight another day - was made early on. Bush could have made more of it ..."

So there you have it. It's all that scoundrel Saddam's fault. Why, the absolute cunning of the man to allow himself to be soundly and thoroughly defeated, and in such short order! Does his deviousness know no bounds? Truly, a mad genius.
