Who Are You Gonna Believe? Rove or Powell?

During an interview Sunday morning at the 2007 Aspen Ideas Festival, Karl Rove was asked about the enemy in Iraq. In response, Rove put the enemy into three categories:

First, he said that 80 to 90 percent of the bombs that are killing U.S. soldiers are from al-Qaida of Iraq. That differed from the opinion of former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who said in Aspen on Thursday that al-Qaida was only 10 percent of the problem in Iraq.

Second, Rove said that Sunni insurgents were fighting the Shiite-dominated Iraqi government, although he pointed out that in some areas, Sunnis were now working closely with American forces to rid certain cities of foreign al-Qaida fighters.

Third, Rove said that "criminal elements" were playing a large role, and he included the Shiite militias in Iraq in this category.

Not a single mention of the Iranians that are supposedly killing coalition soldiers. Does this mean we don't have to attack Iran now?

The Weight of Gitmo

Although it holds bad "...people who threatened the United States of America," Rove said the President would like to close the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay. Compared to prisoners in detention camps in other wars...

"Our principle health problem down there is gain of weight, we feed 'em so well."

No wonder GOP congressional members are heading for the other side of the aisle. The White House sees the Gitmo problem in terms of fat prisoners.
