Karl Rove says that Congress forced Bush into invading Iraq, even though Bush didn't want to. Ok which of youse guys are gonna back up your man Karl?

1984 anyone?
The book's hero, Winston Smith, works in the Ministry of Truth rewriting and falsifying history. The Ministry writes people out of history -- they go "down the memory hole" as though they never existed. The Ministry also creates people as historical figures who never existed.
1- As though Bush did not lobby non-stop for passage of the Iraq war resolution.
2-As though he had not prevaricated during the State of the Union address.
3-As though the administration had not played up fake documents.
4-As though the Bushies never relied on fibs told by Curveball and the OSP.
5-As though the Downing Street memo were imaginary.
6-As though Saddam had not allowed the weapons inspectors complete freedom.
7-As though Bush had not falsely stated that the inspections were being impeded.

Don't you find it unusual with oil at $100 a barrel, there is never any mention by the main stream media or Faux news for that matter regarding:

1. The voiding of the Lukoil deal for development of the West Qurna oil field in Southern Iraq. This field has reportedly 11 billon barrels of oil-more than all the known reserves of Exxon Mobil-and never a mention of a possible connection with Bush, Chenny and the war.

2. The proposed Caspian Sea pipeline through Afganistan for which the Taliban were in Houston, Texas in 1998 and signed contracts at the Enron headquarters.

You will never hear any of this mentioned by Faux or Charlie Gibson.

Damn shame.

This part of what Rove said

"[O]ne of the untold stories about the war is why did the United States Congress, the United States Senate, vote on the war resolution in the fall of 2002...This administration was opposed to it...Because we didn`t think it belonged within the confines of the election. There was an election coming up within a matter of weeks. We thought it made it too political. We wanted it outside the confines of it. It seemed to make things move too fast. There were things that needed to be done to bring along allies and potential allies abroad, and yet...There was a vote, and I`m -- I`m...But it happened. We don`t determine when the Congress votes on things. The Congress does...It would have been better for the country had we been able to resolve that issue after the election -- maybe before the new Congress came in -- whatever. But instead -- and the story will be told later -- we didn`t."

September 19, 2002:

President Bush to Send Iraq Resolution to Congress Today

THE PRESIDENT: I am sending suggested language for a resolution. I want -- I've asked for Congress' support to enable the administration to keep the peace. And we look forward to a good, constructive debate in Congress. I appreciate the fact that the leadership recognizes we've got to move before the elections.

And.......
September 24, 2002:

President Urges Congress to Pass Iraq Resolution Promptly

THE PRESIDENT: Thanks for coming. We just had a very productive Cabinet meeting. We realize there's little time left in---before the Senate and the House goes home, but we're optimistic a lot can get done before now and then. Congress must act now to pass a resolution which will hold Saddam Hussein to account for a decade of defiance.

What a crock.

He told a group this week that he was opposed to the war in IRaq from the very begining....and then CNN played the video of him saying, to the effect of, "I can't fault the president for making a pre-emtive strike on this guy thinking he had stores of chemical and biological weapons.

Wait for more inspections is what I have been saying all along. Yes if they had waited they would have found nothing of any real threat.

Hcap, I think you missed delays point. In your original post, you state that Rove said Congress forced the President to go to war. Then every quote you showed dealt with the timing of the vote. Whether or not Rove was full of shit with his quote is beside the point - it has nothing to do with your original statement.

Why are you guys still so obsessed with Rove anyway? He's about as irrelevant as possible now. He's gone, be happy, smile for once. Life is too short to be so worked up over a bunch of politicians all the time.

Ls, yes, my very first comment wasKarl Rove says that Congress forced Bush into invading Iraq, even though Bush didn't want to. Ok which of youse guys are gonna back up your man Karl?The link to original Charlie Rose interview was included for anyone to investigate.

I admit it was exaggerated in that I should have said..... Rove claimed Congress forced Bush into invading Iraq sooner than he really wanted. Which is just as absurd. In post #9 I went into more detail. Post # 22 was posted after I found a partial transcript. So yeah a bit of hyperbole in my first sentence, but the time frame dispute is pure nonsense. Nobody hastened bushs' rush to war other than Rove and the bushies. And that what it is about ultimately. Congress was led. Did not lead, regardless of Roves' lies.

And why do I care about Rove now? Simple, goes to character. When rove was in the middle of things he bullshitted just as this story shows. Liars are liars are liars

Rove: Right, right, exactly.You know that it turns out Colin Powell was wrong in his presentation to the UN. All statements leading up to the war and just after the war by administration officials regarding WMDs were also wrong.

Turns out as far as WMDs are concerned, Hans Blix, Scott Ritter, Mohamed El Baradei and all the 10,000,000 hippies who filled the worlds' streets, and yes even madman Saddam were right about no WMDs. Instead of the inspectors being jerked around by Saddam, they were doing an admirable job, and the jerking around was by the warhawks.
Suprisingly they still jerk loudly.

11-29-2007, 07:24 PM
So Rove is Deffinitely lying here...
No, his remarks with regards to WMDs reflect the Administration's pre-invasion mind set. That's what they thought in the fall of 02.

Hans Blix and the rest of the inspection teams could only confirm that they didn't find any WMDs - not that they did not exist. Keep in mind Saddam was purposefully giving the impression to the inspection teams that he had something to hide - he has freely admitted that. There was other evidence and intel to back up the theory that he did possess WMD's.

If the intel was wrong that's one thing, but that doesn't make it a lie.

I've always said that the fact that there were no great stockpiles of WMD's found (there were some WMDs found and used against US troops) at least proves that The White House was sincere in their beliefs that they existed. After all, would President Bush, the leader of the Illuminati, the instigator of 9/11, go to all the trouble to fire cruise missiles into the Pentagon, and invade a country so he could pocket billions - don't you think they would at least plant some kind of nuclear devise to prop up the war's popularity?? I mean what the hell; why not unleash some nerve agent on US troops. So what if he kills tens of thousands - he was willing to kill that many attacking the TT and the Pentagon. Had we discovered weapons grade uranium in Iraq, what do you think his approval rating would be today?

The US, CIA, Brit Intelligence were giving the UN inspectors sites to surprise visit. Not one site had panned out. You can't prove a negative, but youse guys came up way short trying to prove a positive when the inspectors were on the ground lookingIf the intel was wrong that's one thing, but that doesn't make it a lie.No, other evidence points to purposeful exxageration to scare us into warI've always said that the fact that there were no great stockpiles of WMD's found (there were some WMDs found and used against US troops) at least proves that The White House was sincere in their beliefs that they existed. All of the minuscule quantities of WMDs were left over from the first gulf war and much was accounted for and cataloged by the UN. No surprises. In fact the major surprise for the hawks, was that if there were massive stockpiles as claimed-why weren't they used?

Really!! Are you saying the mind set of the administration was to wait for the inspections to run their course? You got to be kidding. Hardly
Again, were talking about the administrations mindset in the fall of 02, UN inspections were still ongoing, but the question was not specific to just allowing the inspectors to finish, the question was broad and also mentioned working to build a broader alliance, that is what Rove specifically addressed.
They did not find the massive amounts of WMDs Powell claimed.
But there were a lot of items missing and unaccounted for and Iraq was still attempting to disrupt the UN inspectors.
No, other evidence points to purposeful exxageration to scare us into war
After 9/11 President Bush decided not to take a chance.

All of the minuscule quantities of WMDs were left over from the first gulf war and much was accounted for and cataloged by the UN. No surprises.
They were also found weapons and equipment that was missing and unaccounted for.
I don't think they could pull off a massive conspiracy to improve his popularity
In your eyes, no. But seriously, you don’t think The Illuminati could pull this off? They started WWI, WWII, Vietnam, assassinated 3 presidents, almost got Reagan. They mastermind the 9/11 attacks. Planning covert cruise missle attacks on the US would be a lot harder than planting uranium in Iraq.
Better off spinning non-provable theories about the WMDs being shipped to Syria.

Even Card couldn’t keep a straight face.

Scarborough: “We have to start with something that we all were talking about a couple days ago where Karl Rove went on Charlie Rose and he blamed the Democrats for pushing him and the president into war. Is that how it worked?”

Very Good post. A couple corrections though.

The House Vote on the Iraq War Resolution was:

For it - 214 Repubs, 42 Dems
Agaisnt it - 3 Repubs, 149 Dems


In other words - 98% for it, 2% against for Repubs
In other words - 22% for it, 77% against for Dems

In the Senate Resolution,

For it - 49 Repubs, 28 Dems
Agaisnt it - 1 Repubs, 21 Dems, 1 Independent

In other words - 98% for it, 2% against for Repubs
In other words - 57% for it, 43% against for Dems

There were more than eight people who voted nay. In total 170 Dems voted against it compared to 4 Republicans.

Hcaps point was made and backed up by quotes from the Presidents own mouth,
Please provide the quote where President Bush states that Congress forced him into invading Iraq.

The only point he has made is to show his inability comprehend the content of a conversation due to his incapacitating blind anti-American ideology. If those on the left want to spin Rove’s comments to mean that Bush is now blaming the war on Congress, then be my guest. :lol:
