Remember Hillary Clinton getting on the Senate floor and saying "What did he know and when did he know it"? That effectively ended the coming together days. Primarily blaming Bush demonstrates a stunning ability to engage in selective memory. The Democrats went after Bush for weeks and weeks and the MSM were their willing allies. He eventually responded to dozens of their vicious hate-filled attacks. After all, playing a punching bag can only last so long.

It's not hard to answer the bleat with "they hate us because they're oppressed, ignorant, and brainwashed and lashing out at our success and we can best deal with that by modeling democracy and success in the ME" rather than "they're just evil, you moonbats." The former is respectful of the "they hate us" instinct but turns that bleat into something constructive, something that they would have bought, had they not been shut down instead. I heard lots of the former as well as the latter. But the moonbat crowd was loud and wasn't in the mood for rational debate. The mainstream Democrats who could have lead a debate were all acting like weathervanes, for the war when it looked popular, against it when they thought they could score points that way. Who besides Lieberman has a consistent position on the war?
