Ret sgt, did you know that this trip took place in February of 2002? 5 months after the 9/11 attack. All of us were supporting the President at this time. It was unpresidented the support he got from all of us initially.
Which has nothing to with the fact Wilson made personal attacks on the Vice President after not actually doing ANY investigating, by his own admission in sat at pool side and talked to diplomatic connections. This is nothing more than an attempt to obfusicate the issue
We were all still in that phase, we were attacked and we supported the Commander in Chief, whole heartedly in February of 2002, we were still United as a country.
I think that this is pertinent because is shows how ridiculous the republicans sound when they imply it was a conspiracy against the president, concoted by Valerie Plame some time in January 2002, just 4 months after 9/11, because as you all say, she was against the War in Iraq.
What war in Iraq? This was 10 months before the Congress even voted to give the President the Choice to go to war via the Iraq Resolution, and OVER a year before the Iraq war and over a year and a half before the Iraq war turned in to a hornet's nest, for goodness sakes!
And secondly, Valerie Plame did not conjure up going to Niger, it was an inquirey from the vice president's office regarding the possibility of yellowcake in Niger being sold to Saddam.
Simply not true, the Vice President did not send Wilson to Niger.
This is what TRIGGERED the trip to Niger.
Another employee recommended Wilson, which came out in testimony of the trial and hearing.
And Ambassador Wilson, WAS MORE THAN QUALIFIED for this mission.
Qualified HOW? He proved he was NOT qualified by the lackadasical manner in which he ADMITS he conducted this "investigation"
If the Vice President was unsatisfied with Wilson's analysis and summary of the trip, then the Vice President and the CIA could have sent another person afterwards, there was another year before we went and attacked Iraq.
Valerie Plame DID NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY in her position to send Joe Wilson on this trip. It was authorized by her supervisor.
so, stop with the BULL SHIT on that, ok?
Libby did NOT disclose her supposed "covert" status. Please provide one SHRED of evidence that he did. In fact your so hot to trot about this, explain again why he was NEVER charged with do such?
He told Judith Miller, he told Matt Cooper, he told Tim Russert and a few others that I can't remember.
Trials bring out things like this, ya know? gees...keep up!
Absolutely amazing, IF as you claim he told all these people that she was a COVERT agent, WHY wasn't he CHARGED? Why only get him on perjury IF as you claim he openly told all these people? Are you suggesting that the Prosecutor was a retard and unable to get any of this list of people to TESTIFY under oath he did as you claim? Maybe you are implying the Prosecutor was Bush double agent?
I suggest you use some of your vast knowledge and research the investigation and then the actual charges against Libby.
Duh! It is YOU that needs to do some reading, about what came out in the trial.
I know what libby was charged with
6 Felony counts, including obstruction of JUSTICE, PERJURY, and lying to an FBI Investigator.
You like to make ludicrous claims that no evidence is proof of nefarious activity. Remind me again why we can not do the same for Clinton? You keep claiming Libby lied to cover for specific people and totally destroyed the investigation into catching Rove and the Vice President, remind me again how Mc Dougal going to prison rather then testifying about the Clinton's was just a concerned citizen standing firm against an over zealous partisan Congress. I mean IF the Clinton's did nothing illegal why couldn't Mc Dougal simply tell what she knew?
Useless partisan dribble.
Partisan dribble would be YOU being unable to substantiate a single one of your claims and pretending the fact he was NEVER charged with what you claim he openly did is in fact proof he did it. I repeat, using YOUR criteria, Clinton should be in Prison
At least in the case of the Clinton's we have independant evidence and information to claim they did what they were never charged with. In this case all you have is " well we all know where I live that Vice President Cheney and Karl Rove broke the law"
Additional useless dribble.
Can not refute it so dismiss it. Your the one with NO evidence, no facts and pure unadulterated Partisan politics.
You have no facts or evidence to back your claim yet you keep making it. Your only fact is that Libby was NEVER charged with disclosing Plumes identity and Armitage admitted HE did it.
And what do you have to say that Valerie Plame was NOT an undercover officer for the CIA when the DCI vets that himself? NADA! ZILCH!
What do YOU have that makes this statement have anything to do with this particular post? Libby was NEVER charged, much less convicted of outing her, I wonder why that is? You keep claiming not only did he do that, but that he did it at the beheast of the Vice President, WITH not one shred of evidence.
