FACT: On July 18, 2003, The NIE Was Formally Declassified Asserting "Compelling Evidence" Saddam Hussein Was "Intent On Acquiring" WMDs:
FACT: Valerie Plame's Name Does Not Even Appear In The Declassified NIE:
FACT: According To Media Reports, There Is No Indication The President Or Vice President Authorized Disclosing The Identity Of Valerie Plame:
FACT: In 2002 And 2003, Dems Repeatedly Called For Declassifying More Data About Iraq:
Easier to see this way... :)
Not to mention:
Which is worse:
(Even assuming that what the Dems say is true and accurate about this subject{Which it isn't})
A: The President's staff mentioning the identy of a non-undercover CIA analyst who happens to be married to a genuine 'Enemy of the State' to a reporter.
or;
B: The Presedent and his wife directly selling top-secret nuclear bomb AND missile guidance information to a bona-fide enemy of the nation????
Well, I did mention it... But nonetheless, the question still stands.
And .. very hard hitting .. thanks!
Yes it is, thanks. Their last point stretches credulity a bit though. That the Dems called for more declassification of information isn't all that relevant.
I mean, come on, the Plame/Wilson connection stunk of partisanship from the get-go and the White House wanted us to know. I see nothing wrong with that.
The press has smoke-screened this as the heart of the issue, even though initially Wilson loudly denied that his wife had anything to do with his being assigned. Wilson knew the wife connection at the CIA wouldn't look good. And it doesn't!
But fortunately for this liberal couple, the press has camouflaged that fact quite well.
