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!

"Outing" an undercover agent is treason. Firing should be the least of his problems.

Bush, you're a liar and Rove is a liar and a traitor. Wait actually you're a traitor too. You should both be fired. Since your not going to fire yourself at least do this nation one favor and get rid of this poor excuse for an advisor and human being. We know what you're up to and we don't like it. Its only a matter of time before the rest of America sees you and Cheney for the criminals that you are.

Shameful how this administration continues to look the world in the eye and shamelessly lie..Inexcusable to lie to the AMERICAN people who trusted you Mr Bush...Scary what the rest of the world thinks of America!!Your idiocy coupled with your arrogance would be quite funny if it did not have so many tragic consequences in the World. You ought to be hiding your face in shame, not strutting around like an arrogant but stupid and dangerous Baboon!You may be able to fool the American public with your lies and your corruption, you do not fool the rest of the world. Shame on you!!!!

to put an agent in the kill zone by exposing him/her to the world is plain old murder. to expose a wife and mother goes beyond a "friendship". FIRE HIM AS YOU SAID YOU WOULD!

Remember your speech from 1999 about traitors and incidiousness. Karl Rove seems to fit the bill....what kind of person does something like what Rove did?

If this is true - he should be gone. What's wrong is wrong.
