Missing Explosives? Blame the troops.....
Funny thing to hear the party that does so much to "support" our troops use them so readily as scapegoats:

"Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, said the troops in Iraq, not the president, bore the responsibility for searching for the explosives."
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6351451/

And is it really true that *'s reasoning is that they found 1000 tons of explosives so loosing 400 isn't so bad? (I heard that on NPR but haven't confirmed it)

1. Edwards is already working this into his speech

"No matter how you try to blame it on the president, the actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there. Did they search carefully enough — didn't they search carefully enough?" Guiliani said on "Today."

Edwards told supporters at a rally at the University of Minnesota that Bush "sent his chief surrogate out to defend the fact that he didn't do anything. And this is what Rudy did, he blamed the troops. He said they didn't do their job. He couldn't be more wrong."

Good for Edwards
