Since his lies and stories about WMDs, liberating Iraq, and just about everything else he's thrown at the American populace isn't working to shore up support for the "war" in Iraq, he's now trotted out, yep, you guessed it. Saddam. Now it's Hussein's fault that Iraq is de-stabilized and he's responsible for the sectarian violence over there, not the US occupation of the country, and not the US invasion of the country. And of course he goes on to state that if they only got their government going, the violence would die down once people realized there was governing going on. Now really, this man cannot be that naive can he? Yeah, I guess he can. Remember back a little when he said as soon as the Iraqis voted, the violence would die down. Yep, got worse. And then when they voted again, he said the violence would die down, and then it got worse again. Now it's time to blame Saddam for the ever increasing mess that is going on over there. He's running out of excuses here.

Bush never said the violence would 'die down' after any vote. That is your bias speaking to you. However I am sure he said and believes that a working democracy will eventually be accountable to itself.

Could have sure fooled me on that one. Although I am not biased against Bush, but when he does stupid things, I like to point them out.

The voters, he predicted, will "deal a severe blow to the terrorists and send a clear message to the world: Iraqis will decide the future of their country through peaceful elections, not violent insurgency. "

U.S. officials have argued that a strong voter turnout among Sunni Arabs, as happened Thursday after the group mostly boycotted last January’s election, would herald political inclusion and help reduce violence.

Nice try, but that doesn't equal what you claim he said. It reinforces what I said.
