Joe Wilson: Bush Should Fire Rove

Karl Rove is back in the shark tank AGAIN. Former Ambassador Joesph Wilson, husband of CIA employee, Valerie Plame, who is back at work, after a year’s leave of absense (Flap wonders what closet she is guarding at CTU) says Karl Rove, President Bush’s Deputy Chief of Staff, engaged in an “abuse of power” by discussing Wilson’s wife’s job with a reporter.

Wilson decried what he called a White House “stonewall” in the wake of revelations that Rove, a longtime Bush confidant, was involved in the leak to the news media that Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, was a CIA officer.

Bush said Wednesday that he would not comment on discussions that blew her cover because it is the subject of an ongoing investigation by special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald. White House press secretary Scott McClellan said, however, the president still has confidence in Rove.

Wilson, in an interview broadcast Thursday on NBC’s “Today” show, said he thinks the White House’s posture in this controversy represents a continuing “cover-up of the web of lies that underpin the justification for going to war in Iraq.”

Cover-up…… No Way…. PLEASE Joe you are embarassing yourself. There is an on-going federal grand jury. One in which Mathhew Cooper, the Time Magazine Reporter, testified yesterday. No cover-up and no conspiracy.

But, what is your motivation? I know, you want Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House.

“I think the president should call in his senior advisers and say, ‘Enough is enough, I want you to step forward and cooperate,'” he said.

“The president has said repeatedly, “I am a man of my word,'” Wilson added. “He should stand up and prove that his word is his bond and fire Karl Rove.”

Wilson has said the leak of his wife’s name was an attempt by the administration to discredit him after he challenged its assertion that Iraq’s Saddam Hussein was seeking to obtain from Niger material to make nuclear weapons.

This investigation into a “Leak from the White House” has taken over two years – longer than Watergate.

The LEFT is just PATHETIC in their smearing and overt vendetta against Rove.

Moveon.
