Um... I don't even know how to respond to this:
Rove: ‘I Wish The Iraq War Never Existed,’ It Was ‘Osama Bin Laden’s Idea’
On a visit to Ohio yesterday, White House senior political adviser Karl Rove claimed he never wanted the war in Iraq:
“I wish the war were over,” Rove said. “I wish the war never existed... History has given us a challenge.”
...
Rove also claimed yesterday that it was bin Laden, not President Bush, who decided to launch the Iraq war:
In a question-and-answer period after his speech, Rove was asked whose idea it was to start a pre-emptive war in Iraq.
“I think it was Osama bin Laden’s,” Rove replied.
Rove’s comments are part of re-emerging tactic by the Bush administration to associate the ongoing war in Iraq with 9/11. Rove and company appear to have forgotten that President Bush said 9/11 had “nothing” to do with the war in Iraq.
Of course, Rove was an eager promoter of the war from the very beginning, and urged Republicans to use the war as a campaign issue.
Tom, Tom, Tom. Let me explain. As Bush has stated many times, Iraq is the central front in the war against terrorism. Obviously, if there weren't lots of terrorists in Iraq, then it wouldn't be the central front in the war on terror. Osama bin Laden orchestrated the 9/11 terrorist attack that started the war on terror. If you have a war on terror you have to fight it where the terrorists are, so we had no choice but to invade Iraq.
As we all know, terrorists are tightly associated rather like a country. We know this because otherwise you couldn't really wage a war against them. So if the terrorists are all busy fighting us in Iraq, they can't plot any terrorism outside of Iraq.
Haven't you even been listening to the President?
I am drinking lemon zinger tea and sucking down lemon honey cough drops. I'm like a walking anti-Rodney McKay missile.
I suddenly want cheese doodles. I have no idea what prompted this. I don't even like them that much.
I heard from a friend that works at Frito-Lay that R&D is working on a Cheeto with the cheese powder baked INSIDE the puff--making orange fingers a thing of the past.
That sounds just crazy.
Speaking of crazy, people here are trying to make me crazy. Actually, not even people here -- people related to my work who don't work here. But still. Upshot? Crazy.
Gud's previous post did not help any with that.
Cheeto spoiler!
They are horridly messy. Thank god I only have twenties, else I might be purchasing some overpriced, off-brand reproduction from the vending machines.
I'll see your cheese doodles, sara, and up it to mac and cheese.
I'm hungry and would kind of like to leave the house, but there are people here power-washing the siding, and I am trapped.
Maybe they would bring me a cheeseburger.
