He made the comment in 2003, right? They had to get Rove out of there before the election. They believed Bush would go down in 2004 without Rove at the helm.
I still think it indicates that Wilson had some foreknowledge at the time that Rove was involved. I know the Dems blame everything on Rove, but this was a bit over the top even for them ... unless he knew something. And if he did, HOW did he know it?
I have a feeling that's part of what Fitzgerald is investigating.
