again, remember, this argument is a loop, its a null, can't go anywhere, can never be finished.
Thus, you now claim that that bush is not responsible for the wars, by saying that dems are trying to transfer the blame.
the blame cant be transferred, because bush started the wars. you can blame the dems for mismanaging the wars now, but can't change the timeline and claim they are trying to transfer blame, because Bush's blame is not theirs to transfer.
your one rhetorical move is to say teh incumbent dems supported the wars too, so bush doesn't have all the blame, but the incumbent dems are trying to transfer their responsibility onto bush. I'm guessing that was what you meant to say.
however, bush was commander in chief, despite the fact that the dems at the time were craven sacklickers that should spend their rest of their lives ashamed (but wont), Bush was still the man who pulled the trigger.

good, the mention of polls without a reference was the one real weakness in the endless loop of that argument. an information challenge, always effective.
lets see if google helps me find teh polls I read - i don't keep a list of this stuff...
I recall this cbs poll "the iraq war was a mistake" - but that's not the one I was thinking of
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...56-503544.html
no, searched a bit and haven't found it yet, a poll result I believed I read earlier this year, since I'm not willing to keep searching, i say touche on the information challenge.
