yes, you've confirmed you believe Bush is the bad guy, and want him gone WELL before you apparently care to see Saddam gone, I understand you well. But really, this isn't beyond "blaming," now, is it? Or do you have a problem with that definition too? Read this one carefully. Bush is the president of my country. Saddam was the leader of the Iraqis. I firmly believe that the Iraqis are responsible for dealing with their leader and the Americans are responsible for dealing with Bush. I don't want anyone else dealing with Bush but us. I suspect the Iraqis feel the same way. Does that make any sense to you? Frankly, if Condolezza pointed out the acts of terror committed in the past against us, and suggested the response wasn't strong enough, she certainly went back even into the Reagan Administration. But mainly here is that that is certainly not, as you said, ALL she said, nor even the biggest part. You ignore SO much as you speak in such a reactionary fashion. Look......evolution has not worked its magic on the right. They firmly believe that might makes right and when people don't respond accordly, they blame themselves and everyone else for not being mightier. Its an old habit that evolution has failed to weed out. As for the blame game issue, I bring it up because that was the real jist of her speech. Sure......there was other things she said but the point she wanted to make was the blaming one.........that others had screwed up and now the Bush administration [and the American public]has to walk the hard and narrow to make up for the slackers. Its another version of "no pain, no gain". This administration is good at creating this kind of puritanical drama. The truth is Bush and company have fukked up and we are knee deep in a mess.
