Rove-Why We Can't Leave Iraq - Tyrants Would Laugh At Us!
Presidential adviser Karl Rove said Saturday that the Bush administration will not pull American troops out of Iraq until victory is achieved, despite the growing number of Democrats urging a withdrawal.

Abandoning Iraq now would signal to U.S. allies that America can't be trusted, Rove said during a Republican fundraiser at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.

"Tyrants in the Middle East would laugh at our failed resolve," he said. "To retreat before victory would be a reckless act."

1. So he thinks invading an innocent country
has earned our trust?

Good heavens, they are really reaching with this nonsense.

Hey KKKarl, how about DIPLOMACY instead of military force? Maybe that will earn some trust.

11. Since he was speaking at a Republican fundraiser, he might
have his message just right. This kind of logic would appeal to them and make them give up the big bucks in an attempt to keep Republicans in charge. "Look what would happen if those Democrats had their way and we pulled our troops out of Iraq. Tyrants would laugh at us. Can't let that happen."

6. This is a perfect illustration
of how the ability to plot political maneuvers is not necessarily the ability to plot military maneuvers. The guy has no military experience and probably has never listened to a military strategist. R*ve should NEVER be allowed to talk about anything outside the politics of domestic issues. But then--if they let him talk, he creates more fodder for us.

9. Rove, Rove, Rove....
...no one is laughing at us. Peace-loving people the world over shed tears of grief because of us, not laughter.

13. It's worse than "tyrants laughing at us"....
After this goatfuck, it's "Tyrants now know we can only field one small army and our weapons can be defeated by irregular troops".

We showed tyrants we can be easily fooled into bankrupting ourselves fighting the wrong war, too.

16. "until victory is achieved"
What exactly does this asshole define as victory?

US Troops and Mercs will remain in Iraq for at least 3 more years unless the Sh'ites decide otherwise.


"The terrorists want to control the oil. Our way of life will be at risk". George W. Bush (Nov. 2005)

17. Rove remembering his tormented boyhood, no doubt
The way he handles power is the way of somebody who is used to feeling stepped on and bullied. He has the perfect resentment of the bullied boy, now seeking his revenge on the world that laughed at him. Through proxies, of course.
