Rounding up the usual suspects

Laying the groundwork for laying the blame continues. Last week, speaking before the American Enterprise Institute, Presidential candidate John McCain said that when we went into Iraq, he expected it to be easy. He expected the troops to be greeted as liberators. He was, he said, right on both counts, but then Iraq got "badly managed". So, it's the manager's fault (as if the policy weren't doomed from the start).
A couple of days ago, Senator Lindsay Graham said that he's worried that President Bush's proposal of "surging" with 18,000 more troops isn't "enough". So the failure is going to be blamed on those who vote against the "surge". Both McCain and Lindsay are positioning themselves for a post-U.S. Iraq, when the colossal failure will be pinned on anyone but those responsible.
I've also heard the deteriorating situation in Iraq blamed on the press, which didn't portray the "true situation". And the dissent, which undermines the morale of the troops (who apparently are smart enough to figure it out for themselves). And the Iraqi Prime Minister, who didn't "step up to the plate." And lately, the Iranians, who exported it. Who will be added to the list next?
