I guess you are in the huge heap of floundering liberals that want to blame Bush for AQ murders against their own countrymen.

You can make any guesses you want.

How many fingers am I holding up?

Take a scan of your favorite conservatives on SI and what they are posting. None of them are posting anything about Bush. There's a reason for that. Take a scan of your favorite administration folks, Rice, Rummy, McClellan...whoever you like. Are they shouting about the "mass killings" in Iraq? I think not. It's not "on message".

Bob, there were ZERO suicide bombers in Iraq before we invaded.

<blame Bush for AQ murders against their own countrymen. Where is the logic in that?>

As Powell so eloquently summed it up: "You break it, you own it."

Bush indeed broke it, and now he owns the result. The sleazy way that Bush launched the war turned off potential allies. The arrogance of the US turned off potential allies. Bush sent a force incapable of doing the hard part: establishing security and civil order. Bush launched a war at his own discretion and planned it so poorly that we now leave the Iraqis to face a daily bloodbath in their own country. Yes, absolutely, Bush is to blame.
