Why didn't Bush ask Rove if he leaked BEFORE promoting him

[xray s]

That's what I want to know. He promoted Rove to a position with responsiblity for Homeland Security and Foreign policy, but didn't bother to get the facts about Rove's involvement in the leak???

BULLSHIT!!!!

At least 75% of them don't according to the latest polls.

4. He didn't have to ask him. Rove was promoted

BECAUSE he did leak the info.

8. Promote them to keep their mouths shut.

This whole adm is corrupt, from the elections, to 911, to the wars and everything in between. Nothing they do surprises me. Of course dubya will keep his pack intact......they are each other's protection.

9. Maybe W just had trusted that Rove had done the "right" thing regarding

this and all other issues.

10. I can think of two things

1. * didn't really care if Rove leaked because
2. * didn't expect to ever get caught

11. He did

It's been Bush's M.O. to promote those that are the most miserable failures. Take Contbeleevya Rice. She was promoted after ignoring the warnings about al Qaeda's attempts to attack us on U.S. soil. I suspect Rove will be appointed to replace Cheney as VP.
