Karl Rove's Perversions of History, And His Media Enablers

[Joanne98]

For OpEdNews: David Fiderer - Writer

In his new memoir, Karl Rove does what he does best. To explain away one lie, he comes up with another. He claims that Bush probably would not have invaded Iraq had he known there were no weapons of mass destruction there. Bush knew perfectly well that our WMD intelligence had been fully discredited. So did everyone else. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. It's a lie that Bush and his apologists have been repeating for almost seven years.

For the umpteenth time, on March 7, 2003 the U.N. inspectors reported that there was zero evidence that Iraq had ever made any attempt to develop a nuclear weapon after the Persian Gulf War. Those findings were later affirmed by Bush's own Iraq Survey Group, which said "Iraq did not possess a nuclear device, nor had it tried to reconstitute a capability to produce nuclear weapons after 1991."

As for other types of WMD, Hans Blix also found zero evidence of weapons of mass destruction, aside from a small number of empty chemical munitions, which should have been declared and destroyed. Blix also explained why the evidence previously presented by Colin Powell was bogus. On March 7, 2003, Blix said his team needed a few more weeks to complete their work. Germany, France and others went on the record, stating, "While suspicions remain, no evidence has been given that Iraq still possesses weapons of mass destruction or capabilities in this field."

1. I have a confession: I still subscribe to the Whorsington Post.

However, not for the right wing Editorial Pages in the back of Section A.

4. Just a reminder to America - Karl Rove is a LIAR'S liar.

Every syllable that eminates from his greasy lips is a lie of some sort or another. It should also be noted that Mike Allen at Politico is an up and coming right-wing media whore eager to carry the water of the powerful for fame and money.


The OP is exactly correct in that Rove is lying about the probability of Bush not invading Iraq. These comments are the seeds of revisionist history.

It should also be pointed out that Karl Rove probably stole the 2004 election and then had the computer geek whacked to sever the tie. A true right wing sociopath.

6. I agree

It's impossible to get any real information from Rove, so I usually just ignore his interviews/books/etc.

7. I think Rove and Allen are lovers.

I've suspected that for a long time. Allen's upper lip sweats when he talks about Rove.
