Bush just said on TV that he didn't have all the facts about Rove

So, either he doesn't want to know the facts and is an incompetent commander in chief, or he knows the facts and is lying.

1. Bush says he still need to get all the facts today on TV during a meeting with the Indian Prime Minister.

2. What facts does Bush still need to get? Karl Rove's own attorney admitted that Rove leaked Valerie Plame's identity to TIME magazine, and we now know that Rove also confirmed her identity to Bob Novak, and that Cheney's chief of staff Scooter Libby has also been leaking her identity. We have the facts, Bush has the facts. So what facts is he still waiting to find out? Does the president think Karl Rove's attorney is a liar?

3. If Bush still needed to get "the facts" then why didn't he call Karl Rove into his office two years ago - or, well, today - and say, damn it, tell me what happened? In fact, Bush claims he did just that - he told his staff he wanted to know what happened.
So there are two options here.
A. Either Rove and Libby told him what happened, that they leaked the identity of an undercover CIA agent as political revenge, and Bush chose to not say a thing and instead keep Rove and Libby on staff like nothing happened while a two year investigation wasted taxpayer money in order to find out what Bush already knew, and did nothing to stop his own spokesman from going on national TV, to the American people and the media, and repeatedly lied about Rove and Libby not being involved in the leak.

or

B. Rove and Libby lied to Bush, said they had nothing to do with the leak, and Bush today is doing nothing about the fact that he was lied to about such a serious matter, and Bush is refusing to call Rove and Libby back into his office to ask them what they did and why, in order to ensure neither of them poses a risk to national security with their security clearances.
So which one is it? Did Rove and Libby lie to the president two years ago about a critical matter of national security, and now the president refuses to do a damn thing about it? Or has Bush known all along that Rove and Libby were the leakers, and thus Bush is complicit in the White House conspiracy to lie to the media and the public about this issue?
