Karl Rove scorned President Obama's speech announcing the removal of combat troops from Iraq as a "Come home, America" speech.

For Rove, this is an insult, not a compliment. He and a gaggle of former Bush administration officials have flooded the airwaves, demanding that Bush be given "credit" for the "success" in Iraq, and assailing Obama for saying it is time to "turn the page" and focus on rebuilding America.
