Karl Rove Should Get a Medal (Good Opinion piece by John Gibson)
Fox News ^ | 7/13/05 | John Gibson

Posted on 07/13/2005 9:06:03 AM PDT by areafiftyone

I say give Karl Rove (search) a medal, even if Bush has to fire him.

Why? Because Valerie Plame (search) should have been outed by somebody. And if nobody else had the cojones to do it, I'm glad Rove did — if he did do it, and he still says he didn't.

Why should she have been outed? Well despite her husband's repeated denials, even in the face of a pile of evidence and conclusions from a Senate investigation, it appears all evidence points to Joe Wilson's wife, spy Valerie Plame, as the one who recommended him for the job of going to Niger to discover is Saddam was trying to buy nuke bomb materials.

Why is this important? Because Wilson was opposed to the war in Iraq, opposed to Bush policy, and pointedly and loudly said so.

Consequently, it was of some interest how he got chosen for this sensitive job which people at the time might have thought would be a fulcrum point for a decision about the war.

You wouldn't send a peacenik to see if we should go to war, if we need to go to war, now would you? Well, turns out the wife did it.

IF she was covert then no, she should not have been outed by anyone

I'd like to see what happens with the investigation, whether any laws were broken and if so by whom.

Does this make Valerie Plame a Double Agent?

I don't know how many people will see this, but it's a nice bit of provocation against the Leftist Propaganda Front, AKA the Main Stream Media.

But do you spend your days dreaming of who will portray you in the movie?

That's a good question. One of the threads yesterday detailed Joe Wilson's financial interest through Africa and the Middle East. One troubling dealing was a turkish oil company vying for Oil For Food contracts in Iraq.

Simply amazing!

Good point. She worked for the US Government as a CIA whatever, and for the democrat cause it would appear.

So refreshing to see a journalist that's honest and fearless.........hmmmmm, wonder if John would be interested in a Senate or House seat? We NEED more like him on Crapitol Hill.

I bet Gibson is very upset over that prospect. :-)

If the left hated terrorists as much as they hate Bush (and Rove) we would have won the War on Terror by now.
