(03-02) 15:50 PST NEW YORK, (AP) --

Political strategist Karl Rove says President George W. Bush made the right decision to launch the Iraq war in 2003, but the former White House adviser admits the failure to find weapons of mass destruction badly damaged the administration's credibility.

In his new memoir, "Courage and Consequence," Rove blames himself for not pushing back against claims that Bush had taken the country to war under false pretenses, calling it one of the worst mistakes he made during the Bush presidency.

Rove says Bush did not knowingly mislead the American public about the existence of such weapons.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the book in advance of its release March 9.

Blah, blah, blah. I've heard that line a zillion times.

So, I guess he did it unknowingly. Okay, that makes everything peachy. /sarc

Cutting through the Rovian bullshit, the error was not telling a big enough lie more frequently.

Rove's 100% correct on this. His advice, especially leading up to and then after the 06 election cycle not to fight back with facts was a disaster.

There was nothing to fight back against...he can state this now but he still could not devise a strategy that would offset the fact that a) the WMD's were not there b) Hans Bliz was correct c) Saddam was not even an emerging threat let alone a pressing or imminent threat...

Every major premise that they gave for that invasion turned out to be false. There was no spinning it...and if they tried...all the dems would have haad to do - which they did to a point - was trot out Colin Powell selling his soul to the devil in front of the UN...
