The Big Bad Democrats Made Me Do It

After this, I don't think it's possible to believe a word Karl Rove says, if it ever was.

According to Karl Rove (on Charlie Rose), the Bush Administration did not want Congress to vote on the Iraq War resolution in the fall of 2002, because they thought it should not be done within the context of an election. Rove, you see, did not think the war vote should be "political".

Moreover, according to Rove, that "premature vote" led to many of the problems that cropped up in the Iraq War. Had Congress not pushed, he says, Bush could have spent more time assembling a coalition, and provided more time to the inspectors.


This statement runs counter to everything we know about Democrats, Republicans, and even Rove himself.

And yet, this guy, who was a hair's breadth away from being indicted on multiple occasions, will be writing a column, saying things just like this, at Newsweek right up until the election.

Love that liberal media.
