He’s at it again… pinning the blame elsewhere, the famous Bush modus…

President Bush said Wednesday that Saddam Hussein, not continued U.S. involvement in Iraq, is responsible for ongoing sectarian violence that is threatening the formation of a democratic government.

In his third speech this month to bolster public support for the war, Bush worked to counter critics who say the U.S. presence in the wartorn nation is fueling the insurgency.

Bush said that Saddam was a tyrant and used violence to exacerbate sectarian divisions to keep himself in power, and that as a result, deep tensions persist to this day.

Bush also broke out the “hard work” meme again today saying, “I know that the work in Iraq is really difficult” – “It’s hard work.”

And, what’s a speech on Iraq from Bush with out this worn out talking point:

He criticized lawmakers calling for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq — a move that Bush said would have disastrous consequences for American security.

Could someone please get him a new script?
