Rove admits to error on Iraq as Bush strategist
YahooNews ^ | 3/2/10 | BETH FOUHY/AP

Posted on 03/02/2010 3:54:57 PM PST by ButThreeLeftsDo

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.

LOL. Hate illegals, hate Rudy’s politics, but have no probs with vaccinations. You on the other hand love Debra “truther” Medina. Not a badge of honor for you is it? Keep digging your hole.

Actually, she seems like an idiot for answering the questions in a way that would give RINOs an excuse to accuse her of being a truther and support their pet RINO in office. But her being an idiot is about 10 steps above illegal alien fellators Charlie Perry and Say DailyMushandSpin.

I listened to her, she wasn’t stupid, she answered truthfully. She’s a truther. I had every intention of voting for her until then. I won’t vote for pro-aborts or truthers no matter what.

Your making crap up. She never once said she believed the truthers. Even on Beck’s show she didn’t. The next day she was unequivocal about who SHE thought was responsible the carnage - muzzies.

Perry is the worst open borders RINO next to Arnie and Mccain. Hopefully his fellating of illegals will disqualify him quickly when he runs in 2012. Of course, he’ll just lie through his teeth as usual and you’ll buy it.

LOL, she changed her story after the fact. It’s called damage control. I don’t buy into damage control. Fortunately most sane people know what she was saying and she’s finished in this state just like the rest of the truthers and paulbots are around the rest of the country. I’ll take a RINO (Perry is a RINO) any day over a pro-abort or truther any day of the week. Get rid of your commie up there in Washington State. Perry will go no where nationally since he is Mitt with a Texas accent, but he’s still better than a truther or pro-abort.

Believe it or not I tend to agree with you about much of RINO Perry, but like I said I won’t vote for a truther or pro-abort. You think Medina isn’t a truther and I do. Simple as that. We’ll just agree to disagree.

Fair enough. No sense in arguing anymore anyway. The votes have been cast.

The definitive book on the Bush administration’s reasoning for going to war is War and Decision by Douglas Feith, who was Rumsfeld’s deputy secretary at the time.

http://www.amazon.com/War-Decision-Inside-Pentagon-Terrorism/dp/0060899735

This is the one historians will read to understand what actually happened. What emerges is that the administration’s motivations were totally above board and admirable and that the Left’s “Bush Lied” meme is total bunk.
