Well that didn't take long
This morning (while getter ready for work) the Logical Husband and I were watching a news story on the tornado that hit Greensburg Kansas. The reporter on the story threw out a drop line about how the rescue effort might be hampered because some equipment that the Kansas National Guard would have used in a situation like this was in Iraq. The Logical Husband quipped "It's all Bush's fault! It won't be long now before we hear that!" Well as always, he was more than correct. Around 10am I got a news alert (from the Associated Press) saying that the war was hindering the rescue effort and then I saw this lovely Yahoo story (from Reuters).
"A shortage of trucks, helicopters and other equipment -- all sent to the war in Iraq -- has hampered recovery in a U.S. town obliterated by a tornado, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said on Monday."
The article blames the administration for the equipment being in Iraq. There you have it. President Bush IS responsible for everything bad that happens in the US.
Who do you suppose the press will use for a scapegoat in 2 years? One has to wonder...

Not to mention that all of this blame is totally offensive to the National Guard teams that are already there helping people... at least Sam Brownback is talking some sense in Kansas right now.

I read the remarks that Senator Brownback made late last night. I thought his response was the perfectly reasoned response to a typically deranged anti-war rant.
