Karl Rove, the chief of staff for former President George W. Bush, claimed Friday that military intelligence didn't matter because Qassem Soleimani being 'evil' was justification enough for him being killed.
Thursday that any evidence used as a basis for the strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani was irrelevant, because Soleimani was"evil."
The Bush administration famously came under heavy criticism for justifying the 2003 invasion of Iraq by claiming that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, despite disagreement from the United Nations Security Council. Although Rove insisted that the Iraq evidence existed, on Thursday he did not indicate that he feels President Donald Trump needs evidence to use force against Iran.
"This guy's a stone cold killer who, for two decades, has had one goal and one goal only, which is the destruction of the west, the humiliation of the United States of America, the expulsion of the infidels from the region, and the dominance of the weird ideology, extremist ideology of the Ayatollahs of Iran," said Rove."And so, I don't mourn his passing."
