It would appear that the reason things aren't going well in Iraq is that the American people are craven and weak. At least, that's according to Mort Kondracke, a right-wing columnist, as published in Roll Call (subscription only, so I've linked to a public blog discussing the article).

Great quotes from the newest branch of the Blame America First tree:

All over the world, scoundrels are ascendant, rising on a tide of American weakness. It makes for a perilous future.

President Bush bet his presidency — and America’s world leadership — on the war in Iraq. Tragically, it looks as though he bit off more than the American people were willing to chew.

The U.S. is failing in Iraq. Bush’s policy was repudiated by the American people in the last election. And now America’s enemies and rivals are pressing their advantage, including Iran, Syria, the Taliban, Sudan, Russia and Venezuela. We have yet to hear from al-Qaida.

Damn you, American voters! If not for your fecklessness, America would be triumphant! How dare you betray the Great Leader!
