Has even Karl Rove turned on the Iraq War?




Karl Rove, who ran the entire Republican Party on the war, now says he wishes we didn't have the war.

Karl Rove shouldn't be out campaigning for the terrorists.

I love it when a liberal source intentionally takes a quote out of context, and then the entire liberal blogosphere and media machine erupts in a chain reaction of misinformation.

Here is the original source.


Here is the original Karl Rove quote, as reported in context:
"We are foolish if we think we can turn away from this threat and draw inward, and they will not come,'' President Bush's chief political strategist told an audience of about 400 at the Mount Union Theater.
"If we lose, they will follow,'' he said.

Rove told the audience he agrees with the Army's top commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, that the war there is either the beginning of the end of the global war on terror if the United States wins, or the beginning of the beginning of the global war on terror if the nation loses.

"I wish the war were over,'' Rove said. "I wish the war never existed... History has given us a challenge. It is a challenge which we will at our own peril ignore.''

Compare what Karl Rove said in the quote from the Ohio paper with what Cenk reported in the link at the top of this thread.

I'm not sayin' anything, but I'm just sayin'.

You be the judge.
