The former deputy chief of staff for the George W. Bush administration caused some controversy during an appearance at UConn on Tuesday.
Karl Rove attended the university to discuss the upcoming 2016 elections as part of an event held by the UConn College Republicans and Young America’s Foundation. He spoke for about a half-hour, and then was asked a variety of political questions.
However, the question that most stood out came from an Iraq War veteran who requested that Rove apologize for the lives lost as a result of the war America started. Here is the full question from Private Ryan Henowitz:

I definitely do not like Rove — but I tip my hat to anyone who doesn’t apologize when there is nothing to apologize for. Too many people are too quick to apologize.
Good answer!!
Rove got it right.
Millions of children maimed and killed? This kid is as math-challenged as he is challenged by the English language.
I wonder if he was really a medic deployed to Iraq with the unit he claims. Perhaps he was. But his talking points are so far left as to make me wonder if he was ever in the Army.
Rove is a bushie real bad. The greatest foreign policy blunder in the history of our country was Iraq which had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. I really don’t think those guys knew the difference between Sunni Wahhabi and Shiite. Anyway it destabilized the Middle East and we now see the full ramifications. No. we didn’t want to stay there and take them to raise. If you want to see the face of a Rino— it is Karl Rove who is nothing more than a liberal republicrat. He should apologize.

Talk about pandering to infantile college students. If you're not facing ALL the questions about life and death by the time you're 20, you need to take your damn thumb out of your mouth.
[[Anyway it destabilized the Middle East]]
Yes, because the middle east was just so stable before the invasion
[[The greatest foreign policy blunder]]
The families of the 100’s of 1000’s of Iraqis who saddam and sons brutalized and murdered and set on fire and put through meat grinders alive, and hung from meat hooks and skinned alive, and raped and tortured would disagree with you As would the families who survived the wmds used on them and their villages!
Saddam Hussein waged war on Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel and the United States. He waged genocidal war against the Kurds and Marsh Arabs.
Saddam funded, trained and harbored terrorists.
Knocking off Saddam caused Qaddafi to give up his nuclear weapons program--that we knew nothing about before.
It would seem that Private Ryan Henowitz most likely admires the current Secretary of State.
When did Iraq attack the United States? Israel?? Saudi Arabia? This is BIG news.
Instigating, very instigating, or really ignorant.
When I look back and think of Rice saying this is the “birth pangs of the Middle East”....makes my haid stand on end, quite frankly. They (in DC) seem to be following the same playbook, IMHO.
On your premise we must invade Kenya very soon and China!!
That’s what I be talking about!!
Read some history please.
Did anyone ever ask FDR to apologize for the lives lost in WWII? Did they ask Truman or Eisenhower to apologize for the lives lost in Korea? Do they ask Obama to apologize for the lives lost on his watch? What’s going on? And Rove wasn’t even the president!
Agree! Nothing to apologize for.
