<p>Rove: “Congress Pushed Bush to War in Iraq Prematurely”</p>
<p>According to Karl Rove, 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. Rove, you see, did not think the war vote should be “political”.</p>
<p>Moreover, according to Rove, that “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.</p>
<p>Now we know the truth according to the Bush Administration’s truth teller.</p>
<p>Rove would have been right at home in the former Soviet Union, where whatever the leader said would be the “truth” and printed in the newspapers and history books.</p>
<p>here is my theory, they are creating a giant mess- housing, foreclosures, making a deal to stay in Iraq forever, bad war planning, the economy, etc</p>
<p>So whatever Dem that is president will inherit this giant mess, and be blamed</p>
<p>Rove …“one of the untold stories” about the war in Iraq is that the Bush administration had been "opposed’ to Congress holding the vote authorizing the president to use military force in Iraq just a few weeks prior to the 2002 elections because “we thought it made it too political.”</p>
