So Virginia Democrat James Moran blames the war on Iraq on the Jews. (They’ve got Hollywood. They’ve got the White House. They’re somehow responsible for Saddam Hussein. Evidently the only place they don’t have is the United Nations.) And then Moran “apologizes”: “I should not have singled out the Jewish community and regret giving any impression that its members are somehow responsible for the course of action being pursued by the Administration, or are somehow behind an impending war.” “Regret…the impression…somehow”? He said: “If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this…The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going, and I think they should.”

He said this at an antiwar forum on Friday. That’s at least as bad as a birthday party . Where are the “Resign Moran” demands?
