"“Karl Rove's resignation signals the final chapter in the Bush
administration's betrayal of the identity of a covert CIA officer. When this
breach of national security occurred, the President promised the American people
that anybody in his administration responsible for the leak would be removed.
Rove, identified by the prosecutors as one of the leakers, not only was not
summarily dismissed, but has been allowed to leave on his own terms, to praise
from the President. This sordid tale of compromising national security to
cover-up and distract from the false rationale for the invasion of Iraq will
forever remain in history a black mark on the Bush presidency.”"
Without Rove by his side is Bush headed for even more trouble, and if so will he be able to handle it. Rove has been one of Bush's strongest allies, and supporters, what does this mean for the future of his administration. In fact Rove was so powerful that many felt that he was the driving force behind a number of issues, and not the president himself. With Rove out of the White House, will he be forced to testify before congress? Will this mean less pressure on Bush or more?
