It has been said all along that George W. Bush and his entire administration have been living in a fantasy land. Apparently the fantasy continues even after you leave the administration. In a wide ranging interview with Charlie Rose, former White House political director Karl Rove said that 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. I know you’re laughing out loud but wait that’s not even the best part. Rove blames Congress for pushing Bush into a war with Iraq.

Rove is clearly living in a complete fantasy land where everything that is real can be changed with a few words. In his interview with Charlie Rose, Rove stated that the “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. What the fuck. The whole world watched as Bush did exactly the opposite of what Rove is suggesting.

Congress gave the president the authority to use force if all other avenues had been explored. So to say Bush was rushed is complete bullshit. Bush ignored the bulk of what Congress passed and went right for the illegal war part.

Rove must truly believe that the American public is completely stupid and are gullible enough to believe his revisionist history. Problem is we are not that stupid. Mr. Rove also fails to realize that anyone can get on their computer and find out the truth about how Bush ignored all the other opportunities in Iraq that did not require violence and rushed us into an unnecessary and exceedingly bloody war.

My suggestion is to send Rove all the articles and Youtube clips you can find that show that facts about how he helped Bush lie us into war. Let him sift through them so he can remember what reality really is.
