If this comes from Santorum, then I don't buy it. He's well-known for lying to his own constituents -- good "Christian" though he claims to be.

I'm no Rove fan, but what could possibly have been his motive to cover up the WMD? Why would he make Bush look bad?

None of it makes sense. This article smells.

Of course it stinks, it’s from The Daily Beast, a Demagogic Party organ.

I agree, with one difference: if these chemical weapons were deemed to be random, aging, left-behind items, not some major stockpile, and if they had announced the finding of the weapons, the MSM would have ridiculed them and said they were exaggerating to save face, or even called them liars. People on this thread are forgetting that the media waged war on Bush for nine years (campaign plus two terms), and nothing he could have said would have changed their minds about WMD's.

Sheer speculation would be blackmail over some politically sensitive or other national security issue.

Why?
Rove worked with Romney to sack Gov. Palin on the eve
of Election 2008.
