Karl Rove And Tom Brokaw Aren’t Playing Nice Together. Who Gets Time Out??
Just when we thought kindergarten was decades behind us… Rove once again proves that he doesn’t play well with others, manipulates the class with his own version of ‘facts’, and admits that a factor in going into Iraq was to stop Saddam from holding all of his own oil on his own side of the playground. Rove takes this sharing thing quite seriously, you know. Saddam wasn’t shaaaaarrrrrriiiiiiinnnng!!
Rove: I–let me correct you. There–you put down a lot of things here. The administration emphatically said that this was not about oil. And we thought right from the beginning…
Brokaw: No, no, no, not about oil, but it was about…
Rove: Let me finish.
Brokaw: …how it would–we would share oil revenue…
Rove: No. No, no. Tom, with all due respect…
Brokaw: But it would be part of the consequence of getting the country stabilized.
Rove: No. Well, part of the consequence would be that, that Saddam Hussein, who used the oil market to manipulate prices and deny supplies to the West, would no longer be in a position to do that.
