Don’t take that weak approach and pin this on the President.

I stand by my statement. The White House hasn't done much to inspire confidence among GOP ranks. Republicans are still reeling from the loss of the House and Senate in November; and remember this was after the great consigliere himself, Rove, repeatedly assured them that this would not happen. Relations have understandably deteriorated between the GOP ranks and the WH after that debacle.

Then you have the WH's mind numbing ineptitude regarding the firing of the U.S. Attorneys. A non-scandal that was allowed to transform into a big ugly political/media circus. Hell, I bet even the democrats really can't believe their good fortune on this issue.

Finally, the post war transformation of Iraq has been bungled. The rules of engagement remain a joke. It's really anyone's guess even four years into the occupation if the Sunnis and the Shiites will actually be able live and work together in a unified post-Saddam Iraq. Like I said before, I'm afraid that the country will have to be partitioned at some point.

This would be bad because...? I think that such a partition would have served our interests better than the current situation to begin with.
