No Need To Resign For Calling a Duck a Duck
So Karl Rove suggested that liberals and some Democrats treat the War on Terror as a law enforcement action and they demand a resignation. They equate Dick Durbin’s stunt and subsequent non-apology (”I’m sorry if you misunderstood me”) and say Karl Rove should go through the ringer.
The problem is he was just telling it like it is. The following is the list of Senators that demand trials that are illegal under the Geneva Conventions:
And of course, Hillary, Bill, Kennedy, and others. When you talk about how we need to try these guys in the criminal system when we caught them on the field of battle, you might just have to forgive them for thinking you view this as you wanting to treat this as a criminal action.
They cry foul when Rove suggested their concerns are at understanding the terrorists, yet their OWN 2004 party platform says that is what they want. Quote: Increasing public diplomacy to promote understanding and prevent terrorist recruitment. At the core of this conflict is a fundamental struggle of ideas: democracy and tolerance against those who would use any means and attack any target to impose their narrow views.
The fact of the matter is, Rove was 100% spot-on, and the Democrats know it’s a loser to face their views head on.
