Reaching for the simplest solution in his speech today, President Bush says that Iraq's stability is all Saddam Hussein's fault.
"The enemies of a free Iraq are employing the same tactics Saddam used, killing and terrorizing the Iraqi people in an effort to foment sectarian division," Bush said.
The president also pushed Iraq to speed up the formation of a unity government, seen as the best option to subdue the violence gripping several Iraqi cities
"I want the Iraqi people to hear I've got great confidence in their capacity to self govern," Bush said. "I also want the Iraqi people to hear -- it's about time you get a unity government going. In other words, Americans understand you're newcomers to the political arena. But pretty soon its time to shut her down and get governing."
After all, it's not like bombing the hell out of the country then taking away all the security forces that were in place had anything to do with it. Goodness no.
Let's take stock of who is to blame in all of this:
- Osama bin Laden That didn't turn out to be too true, did it?
- Saddam Husseein Because he didn't get rid of the weapons he didn't have
- Saddam Loyalists Because he was such a likable guy
- Osama bin Laden again Because we had presidential elections
- The Media Why can't they just do stories on Iraqi puppies?
- Saddam Hussein again Because he looks ridiculous in that suit
I'll put cash money down right now on him blaming Andy Card next week.
