Rove: "Congress Pushed Bush to War in Iraq Prematurely"

You are not going to believe this, well, actually you will... According to Karl Rove (on Charlie Rose, 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".

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.


[You have to be kidding me… I just can’t believe anything this man ever says.]

THE FACTS DON'T RUN WITH KARL

Now Rove declares the rush to war
Was urged ahead by Congress,
But we alive then know the score
And who were the war-mongers.

Rove, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Perle,
Rumsfeld and all that ilk,
Therefore don´t trust as lies unfurl
Or let revision bilk.

Truth does depend upon the word,
The public record plain
Reveals the gist of what occurred,
So let us not detain

Over the lies of men like Rove:
The facts don´t run with Karl,
Nor repetition´s ceaseless shove
Succeed the truth to gnarl.
