‘Honest’ Bush should fire Rove, Cheney
Sunday, Nov. 6, 2005 | 8:26 a.m.
David Brooks' Nov. 1 column, "Paranoia is hurting Democrats," refers to "honest mistakes" by this current regime. If President Bush is "honest," then presidential adviser Karl Rove and Vice President Dick Cheney should be fired. Period.
Referring to the Libby indictment, Brooks asks the question: "Why can't they (the compulsively overheated) leave it that way?" If you would indulge me for a few moments, these are the reasons why we Democrats are upset that more indictments have not been brought and why we can't let it go:
First, President Bush said he was a "uniter" and that he would take counsel from all his advisers, yet Secretary of State Colin Powell was not "in the loop" on Iraq. In fact, he was lied to and humiliated.
Second, President Bush said that anyone who participated in the "outing" of a CIA agent would no longer be a part of the White House. Karl Rove absolutely had something to do with it, and Cheney provided the name to I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who was indicted.
My question to Mr. Brooks is why are Cheney and Rove still in the White House? Obviously, the president is not a man of his word, but that doesn't bother Mr. Brooks? This is what the "compulsively overheated" are upset about.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is fighting the good fight, honestly, by having the Senate investigate the "honest mistakes" made by the Bush administration that led us to war.
