Coming soon to a blog or right-wing pundit's mouth near you: The GOP talking points on Karl Rove and Joseph Wilson.

Republican Party chairman Ken Mehlman went on the offense for old Karl today and are adopting the original strategy of attacking former Ambassador Wilson, ironically what Rove was doing when he got into this mess.

The talking points put forth the idea that Rove was being an angel by trying to save Matt Cooper from writing a false story. Upon returning from Niger, Wilson concluded that Saddam Hussein did not seek to purchase uranium yellowcake, and that documents saying as much were forged.

A few years later, we now know that Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction. If the White House had listened to Wilson instead of attacking him, maybe the country could have been spared this debacle.
