It's not the non-existent WMDs--It's the GOP's only campaign issue
Forget the 2,222 U.S. soldiers who have died. They were cannon fodder for the "war on terror," which justifies everything from warrantless wiretaps to rightwing court nominees.
(AP)--Embattled White House adviser Karl Rove vowed Friday to make the war on terrorism a central campaign issue in November.
He also said Democratic senators looked "mean-spirited and small-minded" in questioning Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito.
"Republicans have a post-9/11 view of the world. And Democrats have a pre-9/11 view of the world," Rove told Republican activists. "That doesn't make them unpatriotic, not at all. But it does make them wrong deeply and profoundly and consistently wrong."
