Democrats everywhere are bemoaning the preposterous and inflammatory remarks Karl Rove is accused of saying in response to the Senator Durbin's remarks on Guantanamo Bay:
"Has there ever been a more revealing moment this year? Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals...Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." --Karl Rove
I am so saddened by this untrue, unfair, unwise statement made by President Bush's closest advisor. I hope you will express your sadness directly to the highest authority [ed. note: apparently a reference to Bush].

I believe that Wes's terseness in this posting shows that he's deeply hurt by Rove's remarks insinuating that liberals can't defend our country. General Clark gave 34 years of his life to serve his country and now he's given up his cushy retirement to travel the country to get the right ideas about Iraq out to the public. Please, do him the favor of letting the President know what you think of his advisor's remarks:
