Reply #18: Rove Says Troops Will Remain In Iraq

[ckramer]

Rove says abandoning Iraq now would signal to US allies that America can't be trusted.

He says he came to Ohio to thank volunteers and local politicians who helped put Bush back in the White House two years ago.

Ohio will be crucial again to Republicans in the 2008 presidential election.

No Republican has won the presidency without carrying the state.

Rove says a key issue in this year's midterm elections will be campaigning against Democrats who voted against the Patriot Act.
