Depends on your definition of "blame"
:-)
Blame was my word. Also consider "ratted on", "passed the buck to", "deflected attention to", "used as an excuse", etc etc.
Saw in a fuller version of Rummy's interview today that he said the quote probably shouldn't have been in there. Wow! An almost admission of something.
Still not convinced Bush lied per se. Maybe he was just being "economical with the actualite</>" (a quote from a Tory MP when caught lieing about arms sales to Iraq a long time ago).
