Bush had been warned before the invasion that it would erupt, but he ignored this advice. Al Qaeda related violence is not responsible for the majority of the attacks. This is a civil war we have sent our troops to fight whether Rove likes it or not. Comment by Probus — July 9, 2007 @ 9:56 pm Bush, at the time of the invasion, did not know there were different kinds of Muslims in Iraq; Sunni, Shia, and Kurds. the violence in Iraq is due to the civil war between the Shiias and the Sunnis.

The violence in Iraq is due to the civil war between the Shiias and the Sunnis. Bush had been warned before the invasion that it would erupt, but he ignored this advice. Al Qaeda related violence is not responsible for the majority of the attacks. This is a civil war we have sent our troops to fight whether Rove likes it or not. Most of the world was not convinced that Saddam had WMDs. That is why Powell had to work so hard to try to convince the international community based on falsehoods. He failed to do so, because China, Russia, France remained unconvinced. Bush in the end chose to invade Iraq with a poorly formed coalition. In the end he only found support with Britain and other low profile countries. Rove did more than just talk to a reporter. He outed Valarie Plame's covert identity to the press. While he may have not been charged with a crime he was definitely involved in it. That is why he testified 5 times before the grand jury in the Libby case. He and 6 other members of this administration leaked her name to get back at her husband a vocal critic of this war.
