Rove: "It would not be like America to leave our promises unkept..."

http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/news_theswamp/2007/02/rove_no_sugarco.html#more

<snip>

Rove also urged patience with Bush’s plans to increase troop strength in Iraq. He called the war against terrorism and the war in Iraq “the defining issue of our generation, like it or not.”

“It would not be like America to leave our promises unkept, our friends abandoned and our own security at risk,” Rove said. “On this day, at this hour, it is within our power to shape the outcome of this battle.”

10. Wow, Rove really thinks...
he can still preserve Bush's legacy and what will be written in the history books. Doesn't he know that ship has already sunk?

14. Promises to their corporate buddies
and their own security at risk. When this is all over, they know there won't be a place on earth where they will be safe - not even Paraguay.

17. Karl, do you mean "threats" when you say "promises"?
That would be more in line with your mentality.
