IT'S NOT JUST THAT KARL ROVE IS WRONG AGAIN...

(h/t Steve Benen)

although that's kind of important by itself; it's also because it goes against a major conservative meme: The U.S. is always #1.   On 3/23/2010, Rove told Sean Hannity that American troops have NEVER been under the control of another nation and Politifact gives that a big fat FALSE.
