Card sells out Rove on Iraq

Karl Rove asserted on the Charlie Rose show recently that it was Congress that pushed the Bush administration into war with Iraq. “The administration was opposed” to voting for a war resolution in the fall of 2002, Rove claimed. “It seemed it make things move too fast,” he argued.

CARD: No, that’s not the way it worked.

...SCARBOROUGH: Is that just Karl spinning beyond the White House? …
