Olbermann--"Rove: Soft on terror"
"To paraphrase Mr. Rove, liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers; conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared to ruin the career of one of the country’s spies tracking terrorist efforts to gain weapons of mass destruction -- for political gain.

Politics first, counter-terrorism second -- it’s as simple as that."

5. Another great quote on Rove
from Bill Gallagher: Karl Rove is the most vile, despicable, duplicitous, power-addicted, warmongering, lying neo-fascist in the administration, save Dick Cheney and the man who lets them run the government for him. Additionally, Rove is a treasonous coward, the most manipulative and cynical political operative since Rasputin. He has brought his political venereal disease to public life and Rove's clap has infected a large segment of the once-respectable Republican Party. He has mainstreamed and brought to national practice his ruthless partisanship, grand diversions and deceptions and, above all, his model of winning elections by using any means necessary to destroy opponents

7. well put
That stupid "prepare for war" statement defies the age old axiom of "know thine enemy."

We couldn't have invaded Iraq with our troops more ill prepared.
Absent of any knowlege of the history, culture, or even the language of the formerly fertile crescent, our troops have been set up, the Iraqi citizens and country have been brutalilized and contaminated and the repercussions will last for many generations.

The short sighted idiocy and absolute cruelty of this drives me bonkers.

9. It's frightening the extent they will go for power
to sell your soul to the devil by surrounding yourself with only the most corrupt people just to accumulate power is pure evil.
