IF the Democrats can't run with John Boehner's brilliant "BLAME THE TROOPS and their Generals before blaming Rumsfeld" comments and DEMAND that the American media cover them, and discuss the ramifications, then, well, then America lacks a true opposition party....

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid released the following statement on House Majority Leader John Boehner's decision to blame the troops for Republican failures in Iraq.
"John Boehner ought to be ashamed. HE IS BLAMING OUT TROOPS FOR FAILURES IN IRAQ. IF HE WANTS TO CAST BLAME, he can start by looking in the mirror because he and his CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICAN colleagues HAVE RUBBERSTAMPED the Bush Administration's FAILED POLICY for nearly four years. Our troops in Iraq have performed bravely. It's political leaders like Congressman Boehner and Donald Rumsfeld, who have failed. I expect President Bush and Congressional Republicans, who demanded John Kerry apologize, hold their own party's majority leader to a much higher standard. There's no spinning his disparaging comments. He made them. He needs to apologize."

=====================================
Boehner Has Repeatedly Covered For Rumsfeld:
“BOEHNER: I think Donald Rumsfeld is the best thing that's happened to the Pentagon in 25 years. This - this Pentagon and our military needs a transformation. And I think Donald Rumsfeld is the only man in America who knows where the bodies are buried at the Pentagon, has enough experience to help transform that institution. Let's not take the problems in Iraq, the tough fight that we're in there and blame it on anyone.” [ABC, 10/29/06]
CNN quoted BOEHNER: “I personally like Don Rumsfeld. I think he's been the perfect person to be our defense secretary over the last five years. He knows more about the Pentagon, knows more about reforming the military than virtually anybody in the United States, and knows where the bodies are buried at the Pentagon and has a strong enough will to make the changes necessary to reform that operation. And that's where I am personally.” [CNN, 9/5/06]
