How long before Republicans begin blaming Dems for Iraq?

[Hosnon]

I've always felt that the silver lining around the dark cloud that was the Bush win and Republican congressional wins was that they, and they alone, owned Iraq.

So...how long before they begin to blame the Democrats for the failures? And I'm talking strategy, not an increase in attacks on us because terrorists wanted Dems to win. When are our Iraq policies going to be blamed on Dems?

(edit: Ooops...I AM talking strategy...typo.)

1. It started the MOMENT ...

the Ds starting winning a week ago ... All last week I heard MSM talking heads already saying that the Ds now own part of Iraq ...

2. They already are, after a fashion

With the claim that Dems don't have a unified plan on Iraq. And of course the fact that we didn't blow fallujah and other cities off the face of the earth is due to political correctness, which is also our fault.

I suspect if numbers of troops drop, and there continue to be attacks, that will be blamed on Liberal weakness.

a disastruous war" - skit on the show of November 7, 2006
That was the mother of all preemptions. Whenever they start, Colbert them!

4. Oh please...

Iraq had WMD's BECAUSE Bill Clinton got a blow job. Don't you know ANYTHING? The grownups had to drive the bus and clear the terraists out of there so they didn't have to fight them over here. OF COURSE Iraq is the Dems' fault!

5. My apologies...I forgot. All of the world's ills didn't exist prior to and are the result of

the Clenis.

9. but you forget

with the DEMs in control, there's a good chance of stem cell research to move forward... and if it brings about cloning, the whining liars could opt for a ball transplant...

8. They started blaming Clinton as soon as things turned sour.

It was Bill Clinton's intelligence services.
America went in with Bill Clinton's and
Gen. Shinseki's military. And so on.

Yes, the neocons say this out loud.

[Kashka-Kat]

10. It's always been Clinton's fault

[Kber]

12. I think they will wait until at least early 2004

but they may start as early as late 2003.

[Hosnon]

13. Ok, let me clarify: How long before Republicans begin blaming the new

Democratically controlled Congress for strategic failures in Iraq?

15. January 3, 2007 if not before.

They'll probably say that the Democrats are taking over
without a coherent plan. Some Repubs will also say
that talk of withdrawl gives the insurgents hope that
time is on their side.
