Mr. Rove, the first thing that I would like to address is Afghanistan - the place that anyone with a true “understanding of 9/11” knows is a nation that actually has a connection to the 9/11 attacks. One month after 9/11, we invaded Afghanistan, took down the Taliban, and left without capturing Usama Bin Laden - the alleged perpetrator of the September 11th attacks. In the meantime, Afghanistan has carried out democratic elections, but continues to suffer from extreme violence and unrest. Poppy production (yes, Karl, the drug trade) is at an all time high, thus flooding the world market with heroin. And of course, the oil pipeline (a.k.a. the Caspian Sea pipeline) is better protected by U.S. troops who now have a “legitimate” excuse to be in that part of Afghanistan. Interesting isn't it Karl that the drug “rat line” parallels the oil pipeline. (Yet, with all those troops guarding that same sliver of land, can you please explain how those drugs keep getting through?)
Now Karl, a question for you, since you seem to be the nation's self-styled sensei with regard to 9/11: Is Usama Bin Laden still important? Lately, your coterie of friends seems to be giving out mixed messages. Recall that in the early days, Bin Laden was wanted “dead or alive.” Then when Bin Laden slipped through your fingertips in Tora Bora, you downgraded his importance. We were told that Bin Laden was a "desperate man on the run,” and a person that President Bush was not "too worried about". Yet, whenever I saw Bin Laden's videos, he looked much too comfortable to actually be a man on the run. He looked tan, rested, and calm.

Poor Jersy Girl. Her fellow Kerry lost and Chris Matthews does not invite her on Hardball anymore.
She's really getting a lot of practice with the scattershot innuendo, ain't she?
I stopped reading right there.
She's just flat out wrong here.
Jersey girl???Seems like more of a holstein to me. Much more
BS than a jersey.
ditto. last i heard, we had 20k + troops there.
Kristen continues her descent into moonbattery.
How do you argue with a bitter, defeated, moron?
I think a lot more needs to be said about Karl Rove's motives because they are not the people's motives... They are not the motives of a nation that found unity in that critical moment--Democrat and Republican alike, all of us as Americans.
If the President really believes his own words, if those words have meaning, he should at the very least expect a public apology from Karl Rove. And frankly, he ought to fire him. If the President of the United States knows the meaning of those words, then he ought to listen to the plea of Kristen Breitweiser
The Jersey Girl is on a rant. If she knew what she was talking about, people just might take her seriously.
Thank God she and her ilk are not in charge. Madder than ever? Good. Out of power? Even better.
Another liberal fantasy.
I'll wager she supports that Muesum of International Freedom at the WTC site.
We're still in Afghanistan.
I consider Osama Bin Laden dead until he comes up with another video that isn't a dubbed-over montage of old videos.
And Bin Laden's forces need to attack us more than ever. His forces have almost been exterminated.
John Kerry takes us aside in a moment of private frankness....BARF.
For those who have not seen it yet: The following contains pure greatness, with plenty of potty humor.

Pssssst . . . hey John. Frankly, you lost!
