Rove Busts Hussein On Past Support Of Iraq War
What’s most important about this, (and from what Rove has to say, it appears that this is a story that is going to be breaking much bigger in the days ahead) is that Hussein has repeatedly said that he has ALWAYS been against the war. Catching him in this lie is not important as a “gotcha” moment, but important in that it cuts to the truth about Hussein, who is riding on a wave of being the Great Ethical One Who Shall Bring Change. But it shows he is just another poltician without any policies who will say whatever, whenever, to get elected. O’Reilly misses the point here, and says that Hussein is entitled to change his mind. However the biggest plank in Hussein’s campaign platform is that he has opposed being in Iraq since day one, and that we should leave immediately. Yet here he is caught saying a couple of years ago “it would be a slap in the face to the troops if we left early” and more. This is almost as bad as his contradicting positions on Iraq, as Rove also brings up. Hussein says if Al Qaeda has a base in Iraq we should be there, but at the same time he says we should leave Iraq NOW, knowing that Al Qaeda has a base there. Makes absolutely no sense.
