Both AP and NYT came out yesterday with extracts from Karl Rove's upcoming memoir, in which he writes that, yes, he made a major mistake on Iraq--not defending Bush more vigorously against charges that he misled the nation into war over mythical WMD. David Corn of
Mother Jones is out with
a quick compilation of evidence that bolsters that Bush lied case -- Corn co-authored the book

As Rove makes the rounds on his book tour, he ought to be pressed on all this. There is no doubt that the Bush posse mischaracterized what was known and not known about WMDs in Iraq. It was easy—and useful—for them to do so, for they didn't care to get this right. (After all, as Rove writes, the Iraq war would have likely not occurred without the WMD argument: "Congress was very unlikely to have supported the use-of-force resolution without the WMD threat.") Bush and his aides, Rove included, were not looking to lead an informed debate based on the best information available; they were aiming to start a war. Almost by any means necessary. They spun the nation into Iraq—and now Rove is spinning to cover that up.
