9. He's mom committed suicide and he hasn't gotten over it.

Senator Reid's father committed suicide and he grew up and became a leader, Rove grew up and became a poisonous POX on the US society and the world.

[senseandsensibility]

10. You're kidding, right?

:) Sorry, don't mean to be a smart-ass, but he is the prototype chicken hawk.

[Career Prole]

11. mmmmmfff

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You stop that! :D

[Zen Democrat]

12. Are you kidding. Of course not. None of them served in Nam.

Cheney -- the Master of War -- got FIVE, count 'em, FIVE deferrments. Rover had several as well.

Rumsfelt served in peace time and then was in the Reserves for a number of years.

[grannylib]

13. Nah, he's a chicken hawk coward just like the rest of 'em. Cheney the Dick

got 5 deferments; Chimpy deserted; Rummy was a coward; Colin Powell was about the only one in this sorry-ass unelected misadministration with military service, I think.

[Cha]

14. Are you kidding?

rove is the original ChickenSHIThawk!

[crizzo5137]

15. Operation Yellow Elephant!!!

Its been working well for over 35 years...

[Contrary1]

16. The only "service" Rove would have provided in Nam...

would not have been military.

Chickenhawk n. A person enthusiastic about war, provided someone else fights it; particularly when that enthusiasm is undimmed by personal experience with war; most emphatically when that lack of experience came in spite of ample opportunity in that person’s youthhttp://www.symbolman.com/chickenhawks.html

People should study and read about Strauss and chicago and the bush dynasty..

"My Alma Mater is a Moral Cesspool"
Neo-Cons, Fundies, Feddies and the University of Chicago
By FRANCIS A. BOYLE
Professor of Law, University of Illinois School of Law

"It is now a matter of public record that immediately after the terrible tragedy of September 11, 2001, U.S. Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld and his pro-Israeli "Neoconservative" Deputy Paul Wolfowitz began to plot, plan, scheme and conspire to wage a war of aggression against Iraq by manipulating the tragic events of September 11th in order to provide a pretext for doing so. Of course Iraq had nothing at all to do with September 11th or supporting Al-Qaeda . But that made no difference to Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the numerous other pro-Israeli Neo-cons in the Bush Jr. administration.

These pro-Israeli Neo-cons had been schooled in the Machiavellian/Nietzschean theories of Professor Leo Strauss, who taught political philosophy at the University of Chicago in their Department of Political Science. The best expose of Strauss's pernicious theories on law, politics, government, for elitism, and against democracy can be found in two scholarly books by the Canadian Professor Shadia B. Drury: The Political Ideas of Leo Strauss (1988); Leo Strauss and the American Right (1999). I entered the University of Chicago in September of 1968 shortly after Strauss had retired. But I was trained in Chicago's Political Science Department by Strauss's foremost protege, co-author, and literary executor Joseph Cropsey. Based upon my personal experience as an alumnus of Chicago's Political Science Department (A.B., 1971, in Political Science), I concur completely with Professor Drury's devastating critique of Strauss. I also agree with her penetrating analysis of the degradation of the American political process by Chicago's Straussian cabal.

Chicago routinely trained me and numerous other students to become ruthless and unprincipled Machiavellians. That is precisely why so many neophyte Neo-con students gravitated towards the University of Chicago or towards Chicago Alumni at other universities. The University of Chicago became the "brains" behind the Bush Jr. Empire and his Ashcroft Police State. Attorney General John Ashcroft received his law degree from the University of Chicago in 1967. Many of his "lawyers" at the Department of Injustice are members of the right-wing, racist, bigoted, reactionary, and totalitarian Federalist Society (aka "Feddies"), which originated in part at the University of Chicago"
