Caller on Sam&Janeane makes a great point re: declassification

[thereismore]

Libby says Cheney told him the pResident told him it's OK to talk to reporters about classified stuff. Bush says he doesn't know of anyone inhis admin who leaked classified information. Both of these statements are probably true.

See, what happened was that Cheney had Libby leak this info, and lied about Bush*'s authorization. Bush* was out of the loop and was, in effect, lied to by Cheney. At the time Cheney did not have authorization to declassify. He got it later, if I'm right, in that executive order.

So, it is Cheney that leaked, and lied, and should be impeached! In fact, Bush* should fire him, according to his promise to fire anyone responsible. Yummy.

1. I don't see Il Dunce firing Cheney, but if that should ever happen,

THEN can we fire dim son?

2. Fits in my theory that the party is positioning McCain to take the job

easy run for the presidency from there too.
This explains why McCain has been following in lockstep.

All Cheney has to do is claim health problems.
depends whether he's loyal to the party...or his own greed and pride.
We know he has no loyalty to the American people.

3. Yet ANOTHER theory to insulate Bush

Libby didn't say Cheney told him--he said Bush authorized it.

This is the second thread here on this (see link). http://upload.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x875424

I'm beginning to think some trial balloons are being floated to see if the theory will fly.

I doan theeenk so.
