Rove admits to error on Iraq as Bush strategist

By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer Beth Fouhy, Associated Press Writer – 56 mins ago

NEW YORK – Political strategist Karl Rove says President George W. Bush made the right decision to launch the Iraq war in 2003, but the former White House adviser admits the failure to find weapons of mass destruction badly damaged the administration's credibility.

In his new memoir, "Courage and Consequence," Rove blames himself for not pushing back against claims that Bush had taken the country to war under false pretenses, calling it one of the worst mistakes he made during the Bush presidency.

Rove says Bush did not knowingly mislead the American public about the existence of such weapons.

1. Rove says Bush did not knowingly mislead the American public about the existence of such weapons.

What about Cheney, though?

No matter what idiot son did or did not do, he failed to protect America from that terrorist attack. He was warned, and he did nothing. His folly wars have cost the American taxpayers billions of dollars, and coincidence? his buds multi-millionaires due to lucrative no-bid war contracts.

They are all feces. Every last one of them. They should be flushed, they've stunk things up enough.

4. Typical Rove. The war was right, it's just the PR spin that was wrong.
