THE BLAME GAME

Josh Marshall writes
the Republicans, conservatives and especially various characterologically malformed neoconservatives will blame on the party in power in 2009 (most likely the Democrats) the outcomes that Bush's fiasco have already made inevitable.

I'd like to point out that many of the wingnuts are already blaming the Democrats for the Fiasco in Iraq. I suppose Hannity has said "stabbing the troops in the back" dozens, if not hundreds of times and it seems that every night Mark Levin claims that the Democrats have hamstrung Fredo in Iraq. Juan Cole thinks the Democrats are being set up to take the fall for this miserable failure and I tend to agree.

Josh is more optimistic and I do hope he's right:
I doubt much of anything that happens from this point will efface, wash away or even substantially diminish the central fact that this is on George W. Bush's moral and political dime, and sustained from day one till today by the Republican party.

Atrios notes that the Noise Machine hasn't been able to change the public's attitude about Iraq, so maybe it's just the GOP freakshows like Coulter and Levin who will be blaming the Dems.
