In news which will not really surprise anyone, Karl Rove managed to up the bar on the bullshit-o-meter by claiming that the Iraq War was such a poor venture because the Democrat-controlled Congress rushed headlong into war, ignoring the Bush Administration's prudent desire to wait, gather more allies into their coalition, and let the inspectors complete their job.
I don't really know what to say. I agree with the HuffPo article; trying to answer the specifics of these ridiculous charges just plays into Rove's silly game. I will only point out that Olberman had the best retort on his show last night, which is to show a link to a page from whitehouse.gov in September of 2002, stating that President Bush demands that the Congress act quickly to pass a bill on Iraq.
But really - I know Rove isn't working in government anymore, and as a private citizen is totally allowed to have his own opinions. But, to paraphrase Daniel Moynihan, while you are entitled to your own opinions, you're not entitled to your own history.
