Some of the Nine Dwarves are trying to spice up their foundering presidential campaigns by blaming President Bush for the deadly bombing at the U.N.'s headquarters in Baghdad.
"Had the president pursued the war on terrorism prior to initiating military action against Saddam Hussein, as I advocated last year, it is likely that al-Qaeda and other terrorist networks would not have been able to take advantage of the chaos that now exists in Baghdad and other parts of Iraq," said Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla.
"It is becoming increasingly clear each day that the administration misread the situation on the ground in Iraq and lacks an adequate plan to win the peace and protect our troops," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
The bombing "should also explode the illusions of postwar progress and stability the Bush administration continues to cling to. To achieve victory and a lasting peace in Iraq, we must directly involve the United Nations and commit greater force, more resources and stronger leadership," said Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn.
These and other Democrats, of course, did not blame Bill Clinton for the American troops and foreigners slaughtered in his wag-the-dog wars.

"...blaming President Bush for the deadly bombing at the U.N.'s headquarters in Baghdad."
I say, go ahead and blame him. They'll look foolish because everyone knows he was here in the States when that happened.
Personally, my lawn mower has been acting up and my kids have been getting antsy for school to start....Bush's fault.
Oh yeah, my nieghbors' dog keeps ending up at my house...yeah, Bush's fault.
Bill and Monica....Bush's fault.
Let's re-name the San Andreas fault....you guessed it...

Perhaps someone should remind the wonderful Democrats not to root for the other side.

This is the dumbocRAT talking point, because they can't give us anything to vote for them. Typical critism from the \\\left\\\\ leaning libs.

Can you imagine anyone trusting them with being President of the US in today's critical times?
To: Wolfgang_Blitzkrieg
The sad thing about that is that you can't even discuss (or argue) issues with them in an intelligent fashion. They always have some unfounded freakin' catch phrase that they think makes them sound intelligent and worldly:
"We're only finishing off what his Daddy didn't": No, we're taking out a regime that supports world-wide terror.
"It's all about oil.": Damn right!!! I don't wanna' pay $4.00 per gallon. If someone is going to make a buck to insure that, more power to him.
"Republicans are all 'big business'": What the hell is that supposed to mean? Big business gives me my check and gives my factory work, so, yeah, I guess I'm pro-'big business".

Believe it or not! My lawn mower won't start, my youngest kid is getting antsy because he will be going to Iraq on Sept. 4 and yes I have a neighbor's boxer scaring the cats away as he digs into my garbage that won't fit into those large bins. As an Earth Science teacher, I really loved the San Andreas fault line. On the serious side, my son Ryan is a medic and will be there soon. My husband and I are concerned, but know that he signed up and must serve (we both are veterans of the Army and our other 2 children served with the AF and Marines). Bush is doing the right thing. We are more concerned with those Americans who "don't get it". It will come to America if we do not show strength now.

They certainly have something other than the interests of this country at heart, maybe the insane desire for power.

Oh, so he caused the draught too! ;)
Just remember, he is never responsible for good things, but he is the cause of all bad things. The Democrats just "know" this.

Freakin' catch phrase that I hand back to them is "Yeah, you're right. Things are bad right now. Clinton left this country in such a p...poor mess that it's gonna' take 8 years to get things straightened out again."
