Nothing Is Our Fault

Insurgents aim to influence U.S. vote, official says
Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage alleged Friday that insurgents have stepped up their deadly assaults in Iraq because they want to "influence the election against President Bush," a statement that drew a sharp condemnation from the campaign of Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry.

It is apparently the first time that a Bush administration official has linked the escalating violence in Iraq to an effort by insurgents to help defeat Bush in November.


Interesting how the Democrats are always somehow responsible for everything bad while the Republicans control all three branches of government. I guess next Elaine Chao will tell us the economy is intentionally underpeforming in an attempt to elect John Kerry.
