Reply #17: Yes, I agree that it's about Iraq.

But it's not about why we went into Iraq.

It's about Iraq being a colossal failure. Let's face it: if Iraq was peaceful, and the oil was pumping happily, and Halliburton was now the world's leading oil producer and the mercenaries were successful and were counting their $billions$ in profits, would anybody care?

If Iraq turned out like they promised, none of this would be happening. In a way, Rove is being used as a scapegoat.

He may have volunteered for the job since they need to find someone to take the blame for this colossal failure. We'll find out if he goes willingly, or if they have to pry him out the door, with his fingers hanging on to the moulding.

Next week should be VERY interesting.
