BUSH: SADDAM MUST SHARE THE BLAME FOR KATRINA
President Rips Iraqi Madman for Distracting Federal Government

Just two days after taking responsibility for failures of the Federal
government's response in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, President
George W. Bush modified that position somewhat, telling reporters that
former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein "should share at least some of the
blame" for those failures.

"When the Federal government fails to live up to its responsibilities to
the American people, the finger of blame should be pointed at one person,"
Mr.Bush told reporters in the White House Rose Garden. "And that person is
Saddam Hussein."

After reporters appeared startled and taken aback by the president's
remark, Mr. Bush said that he could "connect the dots" between the Iraqi
madman and the government's poor emergency response after the devastating
hurricane.

"For years, Saddam Hussein taunted us into believing that he had weapons
of mass destruction, for one reason and one reason alone," Mr. Bush said.
"To distract us from preparing for hurricanes."

Adding that "his evil knows no bounds," Mr. Bush told reporters, "Now that
Saddam Hussein is in the custody of the Iraqi government, he will never
threaten the United States of America with his hurricanes again."

The president also said that he was prepared to take further actions to
protect the United States from hurricanes, such as invading Syria.

Reached at his prison cell in Baghdad, Mr. Hussein said that he was
"disappointed" by the president's comments, adding, "Now is not the time
to play the blame game."

Elsewhere, returning to Washington after his trip to the Gulf region, Vice
President Dick Cheney said that Hurricane Katrina did little or no damage
to the nation's tax cuts.

real.
