Root of the Rove controversy is the war in Iraq: U.S. justification for waging war on Saddam still haunts White House
By David Gregory, Chief White House correspondent, NBC News, MSNBC, Updated: 1:23 p.m. ET July 13, 2005
WASHINGTON - President Bush said Wednesday that he will reserve judgment on Karl Rove’s possible involvement in the leaking of a CIA agent's identity until the special prosecutor’s criminal investigation into the matter is complete.
"This is a serious investigation," Bush said at the end of a meeting with his Cabinet, with Rove, his deputy chief of staff, sitting just behind him. "I will be more than happy to comment on this matter once this investigation is completed,” Bush said.
While the White House seemingly stands by its man, NBC News chief White House correspondent David Gregory discusses the investigation, how the administration is expected to proceed, and how the root of the scandal is once again the controversial justifications for the war in Iraq.
