...and tell me: ARE PIGS FLYING???
I cannot believe what Hoagland has done here, in the name of the Washington Post:
Granted, we at FR already know this from having read Victoria Toensing's and Zell Miller's insightful writings on this affair.
But when the Washington Post admits it, that's news! (Can Chrissy Matthews be far behind?)
The cat's out of the bag on this, I believe. Somebody wake me up if I'm dreaming!
btt
Wow! Awesome! Let's see if the rest of the MSM takes this and runs...
Where's Judy Miller? ;)
Can't help but think this is the Compost trying out the old adage about catching more flies with honey rather than vinegar. I don't trust them any further than I can throw their building.
Someone has a strong sense that the "story" is about to break in this direction, and is jumping out in front, in order to say "see, isn't the Bush administration stupid for falling into this mess?"
I hate to tell you this, but IMO Hoagland wrote this to be satirical (in order to try to spin away Zell Miller's column in the AJC and other such columns in the WSJ).
Chrissy will NOT acknowledge this at all....
because in his world, the Bush Administration is EVIL!!!
This was an attempted coup de'tat by the CIA against an American President.....Who will call it treason?
I still think that one of the most interesting things about this whole affair is the silence of Porter Goss. He was much in the news earlier, lambasted by the MSM for ousting traitors. But I haven't seen or heard a word about him for the past month or so.
Wouldn't you think the MSM would be trying to interview him about Plamegate, or manufacturing some kind of story if he wouldn't cooperate?
I think Goss is a good man, and loyal to Bush. I'm hoping that he may yet have some tricks up his sleeve. Maybe the MSM was being given some rope to hang themselves with.
They have a license to manipulate elections, and overthrow governments, too. They do it all the time in the third world, its what they train to do, and its what we pay them to do.
Their charter does not permit them to do this within the US itself, though. For having crossed this line, heads must roll, and for that matter, people should be prosecuted. Depending on the motive behind violating their charter, some agents should probably be jailed at Guantanamo.
What the heck is going on here?
This has some legs, I just have that gut feeling ...... my God - the 'Rats are so screwed, and the CIA big shots are so screwed. GW Bush has got a wild ride ahead of him and he's going to need all the support that he can get.
This Plame/Wilson - WMD - CIA - yellowcake - Iraq - etc. epposode is goona turn into a media mushroom cloud.... in the exact opposite way that the Main-Stream-Media expected!!!
This is gonna be HUGH and SERIES!!!
It just makes you look retarded to claim that this fine opinion piece by Hoagland is the voice of the Washington Post "admitting" the CIA set up the White House.
I read the article, twice. To me it reads like a typical, liberal anti-Bush tyrade. He throws in a few juicy tidbits about the cia you wouldn't expect, but overall the article is just another hit piece on the Bush Administration.
This is good. But of course an Op-Ed is Hoagland's opinion, the WaPo will say, regardless of the fact that they printed it.
bump
>>>let the public know what you are doing. That, too, is your job.<<<
I have to admit: the Bush administration is as dumb as dirt when it comes to public relations.
Thanks to Jim Hoagland for a little candidness from the MSM.
Hmmm, will the Republicans in congress grow some balls and demand an investigation into this? I bet they will, especially since the congressional dems are not smart enough to let sleeping dogs lie.
As for Hoagland's chiding. One thing he should consider, nothing that the dems or MSM have tried have "gotten" Bush. Even with regard to the CIA, Bush has his man at the helm, and his man, by all reports, is cleaning house. The only thing that has gotten Bush is his own base.
Mr. Hoagland is, and always has been an ass.
Only problem for the Dinasour Media, there is NO evidence of this. Even St Fritz was UNABLE to find any such "stealthy suggestions".
