Rovegate and Downing Street—Inseparable --- OpEdNews
Rovegate and Downing Street—Inseparable

by Rob Kall

<snip>

It’s easy to get distracted when the slimeball (George Bush senior’s word) who is credited with creating the trash heap White House administration Dubya presides over is being raked over the coals. But we must remember that the Downing street memos that describe the Bush administration’s efforts to sell the Iraq war to the American public with lies are pretty much describing the fraud that Joe Wilson described in his heroic NY Times OpEd back in 2003, reporting on the Yellowcake Uranium lies.

Rovegate= downing Street. These two stories must be linked together. We can’t expect the failed hacks who pretend to be network journalists to do the job, but the alternative media will be keeping their eye on both balls, reminding you and the public that these two events add up to a bigger, stronger proof that the Bush administration engaged in criminal acts to bring the country into war and then to hide the facts and punish accusers.

This OpEd writer doesn’t believe that the buck stops with Rove. Karl Rove is an operative working with the complete trust and authorization of George W. Bush. What Rove does Bush authorizes. It doesn’t matter because the right wing controlled congress is walking in the same lock-step formation—they approve, Bush approves, Rove does.

We who are not hypnotized by right wing evangelical sermons and theatrics and the pathetic need to use George Bush’s war talk and the Iraq quagmire as a kind of Viagra, to feel more manly, must keep pushing these two stories to the forefront, making Americans pay attention and to see the connection. Rove became a traitor, outing a CIA agent in order to punish a man who exposed the Bush administration’s lies that they used to start the war.

1. Perhaps we shall see justice done
... justice will be achieved when the scales fall from the eyes of the American people and they see these lying wankers for what they are. Incompetent buffoons, petty, mean, and poison to the interests of the American people.

3. Agreed
Their objective is to cause us to accept barbarism in the name of our interests, and they have damn near succeeded. This itself is a monstrous crime against Americanism ... the conceptual framework we were given by our founding fathers in hopes we would progress, surpass them in wisdom, courage and compassion, and become a more human society.
