Libby is PNAC.... don't forget that!
I'm so tired of the pundits talking about Scooter Libby as if he was some sort of pathetic creature who is taking the rap for Rove or Cheney. Surely, these men should be indicted for their crimes, but Libby is part of the cabal and it is very important to remember that.

Not a single media outlet mentioned Libby's connection to PNAC...the group that planned and orchestrated the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is as guilty of war crimes as he is of the far more minor counts with which he was charged.

Check out the NEOCON ARTISTS who control out foreign policy:

3. The MSM has always refused to discuss the PNAC.

4. That was mentioned tonight on MSNBC
I think it was on Hardball. Tweety was interviewing a presidential historian.

Everything has been blending together.

7. For anyone here who is not familiar with PNAC, a visit to their
website will be an eye opening experience. Check out the list of people who signed their Statement of Principles:

Elliott Abrams Gary Bauer William J. Bennett Jeb Bush

Dick Cheney Eliot A. Cohen Midge Decter Paula Dobriansky Steve Forbes

Aaron Friedberg Francis Fukuyama Frank Gaffney Fred C. Ikle

Donald Kagan Zalmay Khalilzad I. Lewis Libby Norman Podhoretz

Dan Quayle Peter W. Rodman Stephen P. Rosen Henry S. Rowen

Donald Rumsfeld Vin Weber George Weigel Paul Wolfowitz

See any names there that you recognize?

If you read the letter they sent Bill Clinton in 1998 (that he declined to act upon), you will see Bush's attack of Iraq spelled out. Check out how many of the signers of this letter wound up in Bush the Bush administration and were responsible for the planning for the war in Iraq.

8. And don't forget bill kristol, who was dan quayle's chief of staff at one
point. He was the libby equivalent back in bush senior's day. He is now the CHAIRMAN of the PNAC, and the editor of the knuckledragger rag the "Weekly Standard."

A true schmuck. Jon Stewart has him on WAY too often and is WAY, WAY too nice to him.

12. Well, he IS.
Comes off, to the uninitiated, as a mild-mannered, easy-going, pleasant, relatively harmless white bread type of guy. A schmuck in Eddie Haskell clothing.

9. A chief of staff to the VP and assitant to the President
is an extremely high position, though some of the pundits treat him like he was relatively low level compared to Rove. He was a high level administration figure.

11. I found another PNAC letter which might explain the number of
troops Bush is sending to Iraq in the present escalation.

"While estimates vary about just how large an increase is required, and Congress will make its own determination as to size and structure, it is our judgment that we should aim for an increase in the active duty Army and Marine Corps, together, of at least 25,000 troops each year over the next several years."

It seems that PNAC is writing Bush's playbook.
