This may explain why the U.S. is in so much trouble in Iraq. Rove is dispensing military advice...well, to Rove and Bush the military is political:
Presidential advisor Karl Rove blasted Democrats on Friday for even suggesting the U.S. withdraw from Iraq, saying the U.S. can't leave one of the world's largest oil reserves in terrorist hands.That sacrifice of which he speaks isn't coming from Republicans.
However, Rove also said the military must be flexible in its tactics. He did not elaborate.
"More sacrifice is going to be required," Rove, President Bush's chief political strategist, told a ballroom full of Republicans at a fundraiser for Wisconsin candidates. "We will either create a world in which our children and our grandchildren have a hope of an optimistic future or we will leave to them a world with a hateful empire centered in the Middle East."
