Harry Truman...

...said: "The buck stops here." Harry was a principled and down to earth leader, a man of integrity who took responsibility for his actions.

In light of recent events it appears that George Bush either has little understanding of Harry's quote or simply has no use for it. Easier to get someone else to take the heat.

Well, with GWB it's "The $ stops here".

Yup. Just another Washington blameshift shuffle:

plausible deniability whilst DCIA gets sheepdipped...

Between that and the murmurs from the overseas ranks and their folks back home, do you think it may affect W's re-electability?

Oh, and let's not forget the economy...

But hey, Iraq is free.
