An excerpt:
PETER ROBINSON: In his memoir, Karl Rove says that perhaps his bitterest regret is that the Bush White House failed to go
on the offensive against the charge that they politicized the intelligence. This whole notion that ‘Bush lied, people died”—in
the White House they made the decision not to rebut it.
They didn’t want to look defensive.
DONALD RUMSFELD: Karl Rove is exactly right. It was a terrible mistake. It was a mistake on everyone’s part, and it’s a shame.

There are all kinds of unethical truths held to be part of history.
This may be one.
We still each have the opportunity to defend what is right as individuals.
President Bush was one of the greatest presidents the nation has had.
Rove wants to be a political power broker today so he plays along with this silly mythology. Rumsfeld was the sacrificial lamb for the culture of hate that conservatives played along with and now condone.
The Bush tax cuts INCREASED revenue to the government.
Bush not Obama— saved the auto industry and required fiscally conservative principals of repaying the loans with interest.
Our culture celebrates president Clinton as a modern political truth teller. The man engaged in serial sexual assault and perjury.
Conservatives as individuals refuse to defend and speak for what is right. That is why things are the way they are and will continue to be so.
Bush makes a convenient scapegoat but we will not escape this nonsense until we admit our individual responsibility.
