MSNBCs Chris Matthews Oct 24., 2005, said it best: Bush is now fighting a war on two fronts.
Iraqi voters are once more dealing a sharp blow to al-Qaedas war on America and the parallel war on Bush being waged by the Democrat Party and the Democrat media. Al-Qaeda is waging war by continuing to bomb Iraqi civilians. Democrats are trying to fight with a battle plan based on the delusion that Iraq is Vietnam, Bush is Nixon and Watergate must be there somewhere.
Feeling if they turn over enough rocks they will find the one labeled impeachment, on Oct. 28 Democrats hailed the indictment of White House aide Scooter Libby on charges of lying to a grand jury. The grand jury did not charge anyone for outing Valerie Plame the CIA analyst who connived to get her Kerry-supporter husband assigned to investigate Iraqi efforts to purchase uranium in Niger, Africa. This may be due to the fact that she was not a secret agent and therefore revealing her name to the media is not a crime. Her identity has been known to the Cubans and even was discovered by the Soviets. That is why she was at a desk job instead of being in the field. Libby apparently faces charges for not testifying: I did it. It is not a crime. I am proud of it.
The real Iraq scandal is the lies being told by Democrats, with Plame's husband Joe Wilson leading the way, in an effort to get Bush without regard for their effect on our troops in combat and al-Qaedas perception that Americans are weak and decadent infidels.

Here's a related Newsmax blast from the past:
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/10/8/112447.shtml
"...The press hasn't made much of Saddam's 500-ton uranium stockpile, downplaying the story to such an extent that most Americans aren't even aware of it.
But it's been reported - albeit in a by-the-way fashion - by the New York Times and a handful of other media outlets..."
BUMP
Matthews keep this up and he'll be drafted into the Major Leagues. All us Americans want is a fair shake. Libby doesn't deserve this.
As British Prime Minister Tony Blair said on July 14, 2004 in response to the Butler Inquiry into pre-war Iraq intelligence, This is now the fourth exhaustive inquiry that has dealt with this issue. This report, like the Hutton inquiry, like the report of the ISC before it and of the FAC before that, has found the same thing. No-one lied. No-one made up the intelligence. No-one inserted things into the dossier against the advice of the intelligence services.
consider how much "Bush lied" is like "stolen election", something frequently asserted in spite of numerous recounts that all came out the same. Not only is this boring and infuriating, but it is also expensive. We need a very effective strategy to discourage it.
New media BUMP
I've said it before - Democrats are waging the same war as the terrorists in Iraq, just without IEDs and suicide bombs. Both are trying to break the American people's will to carry out this war to its conclusion. That is the only way this war will be lost; both the Democrats and al-Qaeda know it.
"Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth."
Old Vlad gave the modern Rats their most effective
and only,it seems strategy.
It's not the facts of the case that matter but the seriousness of the accusation.
---as much as I'd like to see this too, I don't think there is enough backbone in the entire Republidum establishment to do anything about it---
What you said!!!
If enough of us donate to the Libby defence fund it might very well happen. I can see myself donating $100 to watch Tim Russert and the rest of the MSM squirm in their seats on the witness stand. Well worth the ticket price in my mind. Bwahahahahahaha. On top of this I will have to add the price of popcorn, drinks etc. Hehehehehe.
We don't need no stinkin deals. Go Libby
Thanks Baynative.
That uranium stockpile was already tagged by the UN, though.
The report turns a harsh spotlight on what Wilson has said about his role in gathering prewar intelligence, most pointedly by asserting that his wife, CIA employee Valerie Plame, recommended him.

Why is that relevant? Did Iraq have 500 tons of uranium or not?
The thought of discovery and MSM in the same sentence is simply delicious. Be it serendippity or the "evil" Karl Rove, it is a dream come true.
Of course, first amendment issues are rife which doesn't portend well for a full airing but you never know!
