only in america can war criminals cash in on their crimes
~snip~

Washington (CNN) -- Karl Rove, often described as President George W. Bush's brain, defended the former president in a new book against claims that he lied to the American public in order to invade Iraq in 2003.

"id Bush lie us into war? Absolutely not," Rove wrote in his 516-page book, "Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight."

The book highlights Rove's life and career and his time working for Bush.

Rove, a long-time political advisor who joined Bush in the White House after the 2000 campaign, said the U.S. wouldn't have gone to war with Iraq if the administration knew that weapons of mass destruction wouldn't be found.

"Would the Iraq War have occurred without WMD? I doubt it," he wrote. "Congress was very unlikely to have supported the use-of-force resolution without the threat of WMD. The Bush administration itself would probably have sought other ways to constrain Saddam, bring about regime change, and deal with Iraq's horrendous human rights violations."

"I did not have lies with those non-existent threats, those WMDs. And I am a real (smirk) Homelander War Hero (smirk), who led the crUsaDe for Massive Republicon-Crony Oil Profits. Smirk."

6. "AWOL Bush is the kind of guy all republicons luvs." - xVP Five Deferments Cheney

"Most of us republicon chickenhawks -- like me, Rove, Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck, Lott, Boenher, DeLay, Gingrich -- weaseled out of serving America the old-fashioned way. But George Bush was more creative. He used his Family connections to create a smoke screen, and then just deserted. We republicon homelanders really admire that kinda Family Values crap. Sneer.

"So with that basis of his republicon homelander iNteGriTTy (smirk) you can be sure Bush did not (smirk) lie (smirk). After all, he's a republicon (smirk). Sneer."

5. Rove had his head so far up *'s azz he chewed his food for him

twice. He doesn't know the meaning of the word lie. jmo.

[mitchum]

7. Rove just pulled that out of his ample ass

[KittyWampus]

8. gee, thanks for setting us straight.

[underpants]

9. Well Karl can't be in love with his looks,,,,but,,,,,

"Edwards also seemed inordinately in love with his looks, his voice, with himself," Rove said.

[SmileyRose]

10. That depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

"We have proof Saddam could put a mushroom cloud over Kansas." would have been a lie.

"We don't want to wait until there is a mushroom cloud over Kansas." has the same effect and is the truth. They can come back later and claim "Well we never said he COULD. It's not OUR fault you people didn't understand that were just pulling speculation out of our ass crack ! "

11. Keep lying and history

will be changed.................. Rove hopes. :wtf:

[spanone]

12. yes he did karl. the world knows this. i hope your book sells no copies

[rurallib]

21. soon to be on ebay for a penny

way overpriced at a penny.

[htuttle]

13. "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

[droidamus2]

14. Not a chance

Not a chance I would believe anything Rove says. He, along with Cheney, was the master liar of the whole Bush administration so why would I believe him now. It all goes back to the Republican operative (don't remember who it was) that when asked 'How about the reality of the situation?', said 'What reality. Reality is whatever we decide it is'.

[Botany]

15. yes he did and you lying about it will not change that fact

On May 29, 2003, in an interview with Polish TV, President Bush declared: "We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories."

Matter of fact you guys lied 935 times the Center for Public Integrity has them all documented and dated.

[Vinnie From Indy]

16. If his lips are moving he is lying

Another apt description of Rove is that everything that comes from his lips is a lie. Even the words "and" and "the" are lies coming from him.

17. Bush DID lie us into war. nt

[sarge43]

19. Tell that to the families of thousands of dead Americans and

hundred of thousands dead Iraqis, you lying sack.

[spanone]

20. maybe karl is implicating cheney?

i'm encouraged that the british are actually asking questions about the illegal, unnecessary war

[jimshoes]

22. And they would have found them too....

if they hadn't got caught trying to sneak them in. Well that's what I heard anyway.

[FlyByNight]

23. Didn't lie us into war...

...says the liar.

This dung-heap of a "human" is a war criminal apologist and a god-damned traitor. I only hope there's such a thing as karma.

:grr:

[Orsino]

24. Bush wasn't that powerful.

The goddamned TV lied us into war.

[spanone]

25. well , bu$h*, rove & cheney definitely had help

judy miller with the nytimes comes to mind

[malaise]

26. Patholgical LIARS

They lie even after they are caught.

[Lint Head]

27. Yeah sure! We weren't 'lied' into war we just 'believed' ourselves into war.

George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Rumsfeld are all criminals and need to go to damn jail!!!!!
