Seriously! Given all this, why hasn't Armitage been fired, and Libby been pardoned? Bush rightly made some very strong anti-leak comments at the beginning of all this, so now he has all the reasons in teh world to punk Armitage.
Our Justice system is broken. Nothing will happen to Armitage/Powell, Libby will go to prison and John Mark Karr gets STAR treatment and then WALKS even though EVERYONE KNEW he didn't do it.
He left with Powell, right after the Inauguration in January or 2005.
Thanks, now I want to look at a timeline of Plamegate again.
Do you have the timeline?
Yes...I truly believe that was the idea...and I am sure it was bankrolled by Soros...
NO WONDER so many people were shocked by Bush winning in 2004..
If he is bankrolling the Wilson's lawsuit, he might want to cut his losses..
It's pretty clear that Armitage was doing Powell's bidding.
That is what is bothering me...
Corn and Isikoff have NOTHING to gain...except book sales..but, I don't think they would have had to write about this to get sales...UNLESS,
after Fitzy announced that he wasn't going to be indicting Rove or anyone else for "outing" Plame...and they already knew about Armitage...they might have been in a "race" with someone else..planning on writing a book...exposing that THEY knew.
Remember, a LOT of people were wanting Corn indicted for being the first to "out" Valerie...?
Exactly and the panel really slammed Fitzy.
Yes...I totally think it is scary..and I know I tend to overreact sometimes...but, if you just factor out the equation...IF their plan had worked..
My gosh...no telling what we would be dealing with right now regarding terrorism...and/or N. Korea and Iran.
I think those 2 countries still are enough "afraid" of Bush that they haven't gone crazy...BUT, if Kerry had been in office??? Shoot...Israel might be GONE.
Remember, Bush said that those who were involved would no longer work in his administration...thus the departure of Powel and Armitage and not Rove and Libby. I presume that Bush did know it was Armitage and he presumed that Fitzy would do the right thing. I think he was surprised when Fitzy decided to pursue this whole thing further, knowing it was going to be nothing but a witch hunt. Fitzy needs to be fired, and Libby needs to be freed. FREE SCOOTER!
Back in 2000 when Bush announced he was picking Powell for Secretary of State, Powell let it be known that he would have been happy to serve in a Gore administration if Gore had won...that was a signal he wasn't to be trusted.
And he should!
You hit ALL the various nails on the head. Well done.
BRAVA!
It seems that everyone did what Gonzalez may have been the only one that did as he was "supposed" to do..
What was Tenet doing PUSHING for a special prosecutor...unless HE was also in on it...because he felt Bush threw him under the bus over the WMD's???? Which is ironic considering Bush gave him a Medal of Freedom, wasn't it??
AND, after Fitzy found out it was Armitage right at the beginning...WHY did he continue for 3 YEARS....unless HE TOO was being paid under the table to keep this going??
You know...the dems are trying to paint Bush and the GOP as the party of corruption....but, this is coming from the left.
Armitage left the Bush Administration...with Colin Powell...and now they are BOTH hired on to the John McCain POTUS campaign.
I am not so sure that Bush did know it was Armitage..
Armitage would have to have told him...and Brit and the panel acted like he didn't tell anyone.
Trying to get some sympathy for Armitage ( and cover Powell/keep Powell under the radar ) so that we the "sheeple" think it was all just a wee "oopppppppps", from a girly man ( Armitage ) who just liked to "dish" ( that's what Armitage, the metrosexual, likes to call it ) with everyone he comes in contact. After all, isn't that how all men see talking about government goings on? /sarcasm
I have had a really long day. I need to go to bed. Ping me if you have any thoughts on this. All I can think of right now is that Powell and Armitage are disgraceful.
