Ultimate Bush Insider Lifts Veil on Presidency - NYTimes.com

WASHINGTON — Karl Rove, the chief political adviser to President George W. Bush and architect of his two successful campaigns for the White House, says in a new memoir that Mr. Bush probably would not have invaded Iraq had he known there were no unconventional weapons there.

Its disturbing to see ol' Turd Blossom betraying his former boss like this. We all know just like Wonderbread helps build strong bodies in 12 ways, there were many, many other good reasons for the war besides WMD. Spreading democracy, stopping an evil dictator, securing a nationally vital strategic resource, heck, the reasons go on and on. Why would Rove lie like this?

I don't think he betrayed Bush at all. I think that was actually a very reasoned and helpful statement. Most of us already knew what was said but to have it out there, officially, is nice to see. Of course, none of the left would believe this statement. They will believe that Bush wanted to go into Iraq from the get-go.

I don't want to have to suit up and fight wars and have my brother soldiers and sailors dying to "spread democracy". Democracy is an idea that is so foreign to some cultures that they simply can't grasp the idea. There are endless lines of dictators out there too. We should only be going to war for national security purposes. If the people of other countries want democracy they should do what we had to do. Fight for it themselves. If a people won't do it for themselves no one else can do it for them.
