She was covert? This is Martha Steward all over again. BTW - what is or was your opinion on MS? Libby did not leak the CIA employee's name it was Armitage but was nonetheless caught up in the investigation. Libby it seems to me was targeted bause he was the only one "out in the open". When the President comuted is sentence Libby was going to go to jail not because of the focus of the investigation but because of the investigation. Even a fair minded liberal would agree that to be sent to jail because of the course of events during the investigation is going to jail because of a weak case. What else are you going to do when you go fishing? Hey honey I'm home. Did you catch what you wanted? Not quite but we trapped this other critter and killed it instead. Well good for you it sounds like you had a good time.

This is nothing more than a rehash of way to much. If all of this were true how many Senator's could the President hope to convince war was needed? Would it be five or ten? How about sixteen? How many voted for war BTW? The Dem's want this story to be considered true by America so they can explain their votes. For all of them to be duped implies they do not vote as individuals but as a group as a whole. The group think said yes so they all did so.

Now let us assume he only "duped" twenty. To dupe twenty when everyone else is going to say yes anyway does not change the course of events one bit.

So why is all of this important if it would not have affected the course of events? Because Dem's live in their own reality. Don't forget that the reality they live in depends upon whether their guy is the one making the decisions.

The bottom line is Sadamm was a bad guy who should have been taken out back in 91. Had I been President I would have continued the WW2 policy of unconditional surrender. Instead we got a happy Western family that compromised our "most elevated" human values from the enlightenment. Don't get me wrong, I believe Bush has made many a mistake. The war in Irag may be long but I expected that. If the 91 cease fire was indeed a failure on the part of the West then the following years of U.N. resolutions must be considered so as well. If France and England are any example I think that Bush while not perfect was able to understand and act upon the threat more so than other leaders of his time. That doggedness will be his legacy. Unfortunately I think that most Americans will not agree until the barbarians have assaulted the walls of New Rome again.
