Karl Rove a Bush Liability
July 11, 2005
The name of a CIA agent was illegally leaked by someone
in the Bush administration in the summer of 2003. Bush reacted in September
that the leak was unacceptable and the person responsible would be dealt
with, that is presumably fired. Subsequently in early October, Scott
McClellan, the White House pres secretary said who ever leaked the name
would be fired. He was speaking for Bush.
We now know Rove was the source of the leak.
It is now time for Bush to fulfill his promise to get rid
of the person who committed the criminal act, that is fire Rove. But it
doesn’t look good that this will happen. The White House is now refusing to
discuss the issue or even react officially to these new revelations.
Scott McClellan had a bad day on July 11th.
The press repeatedly pointed out what he said in 2003 and asked when Rove
would be fired. McClellan refused to answer press questions. Karl Rove
could be criminally charged, yet, what we see is White House
stonewalling and dishonesty. This shows they support criminal activity
by White House employees.
In 2003, Bush and McClellan found it to their advantage
to enthusiastically and publically comment about the leak at the start of
the investigation and now say it would be inappropriate to comment now
because of the "on-going investigation"! This sordid affair reveals even
more of the dark side of the Administration and Bush's malignant hypocrisy.
Rove must be "dealt with" as Bush promised and this is
what he needs to do:
Immediately remove Rove’s security clearance. Our
national security demand it in time of war and then
Ask Rove to resign to prevent more political damage
to the Administration and fire him if he doesn't.
This would be the honest and honorable approach worthy of
publicity. But Bush won’t do this because he has a criminal mind and will
support Rove no matter what. Morally, Bush sees nothing wrong with Rove's
actions and neither do most of his supporters.
Years ago, Bush senior fired Rove from his campaign
because he spread lies and was involved in unscrupulous political
activities. Too bad junior doesn’t "get it" like his dad.
