Embittered Insiders Turn Against Bush - washingtonpost.com

The Washington Post reports that now that the War in Iraq has turned into a quagmire that gets deeper by the day, the Republican rats are falling over each other in their rush to jump ship. While they were happy to share the credit following a swift invasion — a cakewalk, as former Bush and Rumsfeld protege Ken Edelman put it — now the neocons are focused sticking it to the feckless George W. Bush. As Adelman commented:

"There are a lot of lives that are lost," Adelman said in an interview last week. "A country's at stake. A region's at stake. This is a gigantic situation. . . . This didn't have to be managed this bad. It's just awful."

Though Adelman does accept some of the blame for the botched occupation, the Republican response in general has been more along the lines of selectiong Trent "I wish the segregatioist ticket had prevailed" Lott for MInority Whip.
