Salim Mansur, who called Obama "Marxian" and predicted a McCain victory, squats and drops another big turd of a neo-con talking point:
"But long after the critics of Bush have bitten dust and been forgotten, people will be talking about him, as they do about Truman, reflecting upon the consequences of his decision that brought freedom for 50 million people in the Arab-Muslim world. How these people build positively upon their freedom, or squander it, will be a commentary upon them and not Bush."
See what he did there? By his logic, the Shrub administration did a good thing by invading and occupying a country on false pretenses; now, if the Iraqis can't make the very most of the enormous death toll and the displacement of millions from their homes and the anger of a people whose home turf was taken over by soldiers who couldn't even bother to pronounce the country's name correctly ... (deep breath and heavy sigh) ... well, that reflects poorly on them, not anyone in this part of the world.
Nice framing there.
