The Qaqaa is hitting the fan

The Al Qaqaa explosives story has morphed into a major problem for Team W.

W's defense at first tried to front the notion that it was a story made up by the liberal media in a desperate attempt to thwart his reelection.

When that didn't work, they trotted out the "it's not our fault because it was taken before we invaded."

Then Giuliani came out yesterday and just outright blamed the troops...which is probably going to turn out to be an albatross for Rudy in the future.

Now it's clear that the explosives were there when the 101st arrived at Al Qaqaa and was probably still there as late as April 18, 2003 (The link is for Josh Marshall. Start at the top and keep reading down. He's got the whole episode logged).

For those of us who've felt that the Bush handling of Iraq has been a disaster from the beginning, this is just more of the same. But what about those that support Bush? Does this give them pause?
