"It was wrong to out a CIA agent, BUT..."
Really!? No shit.

Let's try this:

"It was wrong to serve my wife divorce papers in the hospital while she was recovering from a cancer operation BUT..."

"It was wrong for Scooter to commit perjury, BUT..."

"It was wrong for us to break into Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrists's office and steal the files BUT..."

"It was wrong to jam the telephone lines of the Democrats BUT..."

"It was wrong to allow all those people to perish in Hurricane Katrina, BUT..."

"It was wrong to start a war with Iraq on the cheap, BUT..."

"It was wrong for Duke Cunningham to take money from all those folks, BUT..."

***********************************************************************


Note how these guys always have 'mitigating factors' which render fairly horrible decisions/crimes 'meaningless' for them but I do recall when Clinton suggested a ten cent a gallon gas tax and the American public was told that it would put the country out of business. That's when gas was 1.39 a gallon. When Clinton got his series of blowjobs, there was no but allowed.

Kafka couldn't have scripted this any better.

3. But what?
The ONLY reasons to expose Valarie Wilson was to "get back" at her husband for telling the truth, and to send a chilling message to the intelligence community to "play ball, or else" - the "or else" meaning death at the hands of our enemies.

8. Not really The real reason is a lot worse.
cheney & his war profiteers needed to destroy the spy network we had in the Middle East that could disprove their claims of WMD and who was doing what with nuclear, as with Iran. Remember the cherry picking of intel with Iraq?
Makes it easier if there is no real intel to disprove your lies when you want to take over another country oil.

4. But...
to complain about it and/or investigate it is just politics, nasty politics, nothing the GOP would ever stoop to --

its just BDS, a witch hunt, politics at its most vile --

investigating * is unAmerican, you are only helping the terrarists --

you all hate the GOP because they are the superior party. :puke:

:sarcasm: :sarcasm::sarcasm:

:banghead:
