I wonder if Rove, having lied for most of his life, has bought into his own mythology? Someone should introduce him to the concept of Google.

I'm going to go quietly now and pull all my hair out!!!

According to <A href="http://www.charlierose.com/shows/2007/11/21/1/a-conversation-with-karl-rove">Karl Rove (on <EM>Charlie Rose</EM>)</A>, 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".</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-abrams/rove-congress-pushed-bu_b_74039.html">
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.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-abrams/rove-congress-pushed-bu_b_74039.html">
It is worth remembering that the Senate in the fall of 2002 was controlled, barely, by Democrats.  Get it? George Bush, we are being told, wanted to delay, wanted to hold back, wanted to take the time to build a coalition and let the inspectors finish their job, but that damn Congress just pushed him into it.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/59690538-9A2C-4914-A2B0-1096F9338403/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
