Iraqifying the Blame

Can somebody tell me how it's possible that I just heard Sen. John Warner on C-SPAN right now blaming the Iraqis for the situation in Iraq?  I can't seem to find a transcript, but he said something very much like "We're just not getting the support that we need from the Iraqi people to make this project work."

I'd like to channel some Rumsfeldian dialectic in response to Senator Warner's grumbling.

"Well, my goodness!  Can you imagine, can you put yourself in the position of an Iraqi citizen when he hears things like this?  A wealthy pro-war senator from Virginia complaining about the failings of the Iraqi people?  Good grief!

"Senator Warner might care to try his hand at living in Iraq today.  The situation in Iraq today is terrible.  The security situation in broad swaths of the country would startle Thomas Hobbes.  The insurgency is growing, and U.S. troops have been unable to establish an increasing area of security.

"If I were an Iraqi, I would be outraged at Senator Warner's remarks.  After having lived under the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, and then in the bloody anarchy that currently exists, for the problem to be blamed on the Iraqis is just astonishing.  We have to be honest here: the responsibility for this situation rests with the United States.  Whether one cares to attribute it to a lack of planning on my part, or a flawed logic that couldn't succeed regardless, attempting to shift blame onto the Iraqis is just...well, I'm not quite sure what to say about it."
