Bush: Stop Flip-Flopping and Fire Karl Rove

Target: President George Bush
Sponsored by: Jeffrey Marks

Is this how Karl Rove feels about our national security? President Bush: Fire Karl Rove.
June 2004: When asked if he would fire anyone found responsible for leaking the name of undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame to the press, President Bush says "yes."

July 2005: Talk about flip-flops. Now that Bush's right-hand man Karl Rove has been fingered as the secret source, the Bush administration is stonewalling and refusing to answer questions about whether or not he will fire Rove if found to be guilty.

The evidence is mounting that White House advisor Rove may be the secret source who exposed the identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame two years ago in a blatant act of political retaliation for her husband's editorial criticizing the administration's justifications for going to war in Iraq. Rove's own lawyer confirmed to Newsweek magazine that Rove was the secret source named in reporter Matthew Cooper's notes.

It's time to stop the lies and end the cover-up. President Bush, it's time to fire Karl Rove.

Dear President Bush:

In June 2004, you promised to fire anyone found responsible for leaking the identity of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame to the press. Such a leak is a serious breach of national security and possibly a felony.

The evidence is mounting and the case is becoming increasingly clear: the person responsible for this outrageous leak is your own advisor, Karl Rove.

Mr. President, I urge you, in the name of national security, to keep your promise and fire Karl Rove.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
We signed the “Bush: Stop Flip-Flopping and Fire Karl Rove” petition!

I am not surprised about the cover up concerning Karl Rove. This man is a joke and Bush knows it. Since Bush has taken office he and his minions have lied and pulled the wool over most of the eyes of the people of the united states, but the only people who see them for what they are, are called Democrats.

For once in his administration life Bush should stop with the lies and deceit. Tell us the truth about Rove.

Leaking Valerie Plame's identity to the public was a federal offense. The person responsible, as well as those who obstructed justice, must be held accountable! I don't recognize my country anymore.

He should not be protected from any of the usual penalties for sharing classified information.

Call me cynical, but lying, cheating, and other skullduggery seem, if anything, cause for promotion in the current administration. However, treason seems a little too underhanded to let pass, even for this bunch. We've let spin, lies, and the silencing of dissent slide, but undermining the very "war on terror" they're sending Americans off to Iraq to die in? If that's not a firing offense, I don't even want to contemplate what is.

The White House needs to be cleaned up. Rove should be tried for treason for what he did, especially when we are at war.

Treason and election fraud are both very serious CRIMES agasint democracy. The DSM related information (including Joe Wilson's testimony)are indicative WAR crimes, and impeachable offenses.

Not only should he be fired-he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Revealing the identity of an undercover CIA agent is a felony. Karl Rove has a long history of deceptive, morally objectionable actions to achieve his agressive, conservative political goals. He was the "mastermind" behind shutting down the Florida recount after the 2000 elections, which a manual recount by the media later showed would have given a clear victory to Al Gore. And now he has threatened the life of a covert CIA agent by exposing her identity to the press, all to intimidate her husband and cover-up his public criticism of the administration's drive toward war in Iraq. Ambassador Wilson's allegations were of course proven true. Karl Rove needs to go. And President Bush, if I had my way you would be next in line to get a pink slip.
