The Blame Game: buck stops at the Oval Office.
The Blame Game
By Stephen M. Walt Page
November/December 2005

Who will be blamed for Iraq? It’s easy for politicians to point fingers at each other. But ultimately, the buck stops at the Oval Office.

If our Iraq adventure ends badly, there will be ample blame to go around. But the buck should stop, as President Harry Truman famously said, in the Oval Office. President Bush was quick to claim credit when things were going well, and he cannot escape blame when things turn ugly. This is President Bush’s war, and America’s failure will be his legacy.

2. I hope so. Because, the way things are looking right now
It looks like Bush will just keep getting a free pass.
