Karl Rove: Pointing Out Bush Administration WMD Lies Is An 'Old Argument' We Waste Time On

Karl Rove: Pointing Out Bush Administration WMD Lies Is An 'Old Argument' We Waste Time On


Rove decided to throw in a new twist on Bill O'Reilly's show this Monday and be completely dismissive of the fact that they lied to us about whether Saddam had WMD's. Here he is arguing against a giant straw man on the left that only exists in Turdblossom's mind.

O'REILLY: Our pals over at MSNBC are blaming you and Bush for the whole thing. You know that. We shouldn't have gone there. If we didn't do it, we wouldn't have this and on and on.

ROVE: I notice that the MSNBC crowd is not critical of the two Secretaries of State who served President Obama, Secretary Clinton and Secretary Kerry, both of whom voted for the authorization of the use of force against Iraq. I think it might be sort of selective outrage at the Republicans who supported Iraq (crosstalk).

O'REILLY: But that's because you and President Bush fooled the world by consciously saying there were weapons of mass... look, you have to understand what this is. The far left says that you and Bush and everybody involved with this, did it on purpose, that you knew there weren't weapons of mass destruction and you said it anyway. That's their... and they're never going to get out of that. But I'm just pointing it out... (crosstalk)

ROVE: Yeah, that's an old argument that we waste time on because people on the other side who have looked at this say the intelligence came to the same conclusion, including people like Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton...

O'REILLY: And Bill O'Reilly as well.



We should have been looking back and prosecuting these guys for war crimes, but the Democrats gave them a pass. How's that working out for you now?

You aren't younger than those of us who remember the true facts. We will dog you until your final breath.

This turd came to our village a couple of years ago. The young Rethuglicans were paying him to speak at the local college. Our peace line folks met him on the corner with signs and flags. He will always know, wherever he goes that his illegal killing and stealing is remembered here on earth. If there is a hell he will lead the way!

I feel so sorry for all who volunteered in the name of terrorism when it was our own who orchestrated the disastrous war and all that followed. I grieve also for those innocents that we killed in our name.

No Karl, you can not rewrite history. Keep trying but you will not succeed.

You didn't wipe your ass after use, so saying, "that's old news", doesn't make it any cleaner. In case you didn't notice your th one that brought it up by accusing the SOS's who had been mislead of making mistakes. See how it works?

THAT'S when we knew this was all about war profiteering and not about facts. Facts got between them and their treasure so they threw out the facts.
Jeezus, I know it's Bill Orally but could someone, SOMEone please bring this inconvenient point up the next time one of these monsters tries to spread the blame around?! WMD was always just a smokescreen and the moment the air began to clear they pulled out the inspectors and started bombing.

We delayed it a while (with great cost in human resources and treasure) with the so-called "surge" but what it comes down to is Bush broke Iraq and it cannot be fixed easily. We kept the lid on things long enough to get out. That's about it.
