Saddam is like an Iraqi version of Clinton

In that he's being blamed for everything regardless of circumstances:

The United States insists die-hard supporters of Saddam Hussein are behind a spate of deadly attacks on U.S. troops -- but many Iraqis believe American blunders are more to blame.

They argue it is heavy-handed American raids, along with the failure to restore basic services, that are fueling the violence and insecurity, not Saddam loyalists.

"The Americans are just using the Baath as an excuse to stay in the country...They don't want an Iraqi government. So they just talk about the Baath," said Ali Jassem, a unemployed Shiite Iraqi who lives in a slum.

Iraqis suggest that the overwhelming terror Saddam once inspired has evaporated. Even though he remains missing since Baghdad fell on April 9, his supporters no longer have the power to intimidate their countrymen, these Iraqis argue.

This is also of course a case of our media going to work. Any Iraqi who opposes US occupation has to be a Saddam loyalist just like every person killed by a predator drone has to be a terrorist.

Excuse me while I hit my head against the wall.
