Shortly after reading the Evans-Novak Political Report I received via email I stumbled upon this brilliant article that exposes the duplicity of the Democratic Party. As you know the Democrats (especially the fringe Dem haters of President Bush) are expressing public outrage of the President’s Commutation of Libby’s sentence. Keep in mind it is a Commutation and not a Pardon.
Hmmm … Let us read of Clinton’s outright Pardon’s of political cronies before he departed office.
Victor Davis Hanson has written one of most ill conceived titles to an awesome essay. “Iraqi Blowback” is more an exposé on the ludicrous guilty verdict of Scooter Libby than the Blowback of bad decisions made in not making a viable victory and exit strategy from Iraq.
There is the emerging appearance of a Watergate type scandal that may link to the White House. Is the scandal related to the Iraq War? Only in an off hand way is the answer.
The scandal has to do with the mysterious choice to allow prosecution of people who are obviously framed or set up to take a fall.
The first to come mind is Scooter Libby. The purpose for his prosecution is ludicrous and had zero to do with leaking Valerie Plame’s name to the Mainstream Media (MSM). Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald had a mandate to go after the person who leaked a useless CIA agent (Plame) to the MSM. Fitzgerald did not go after the person who he did know (viz. Richard Armitage); rather he went after a person that could embarrass the Bush Administration (Libby). Libby had zero to do with the leak.
The next judicial mystery has to do with Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. At first I believed this was just Left Wing bureaucracy persecuting the Conservative agenda to favor spread favor to the benefit of the Democrat Party. These prosecutions are beginning to take on the image of President Bush having a hand in the prosecutions. He has not spoken publicly of the outrageous actions. Bush’s power base is calling for Executive Pardons for Libby, Ramos and Compean; however it is as if Bush has ear plugs and blinders on.
Is there a secret agenda that even the Republican base would be horrified with? Could the unthinkable be correct put forth about Bush? Is the Bush agenda more than a Conservative agenda? Will Bush prove this an insane speculation and step up with the stones to pardon Ramos, Compean and Libby?
Jack Cashill insinuates a mysterious conspiracy possibility involving or I should I say revolving around Plamegate.
After reading “Joseph Wilson's Original Sin and how the Administration Washed it Away,” I realized I might have been a little slow connecting the dots.
Who sent Wilson to Niger? It has been verified that wifey Valerie Plame sent Wilson. Why did Plame send Wilson? This is the CIA connection I did not get until possibly now. Wilson was highly involved with French interests in providing nuclear material to Saddam Hussein. The CIA was against an Iraqi invasion by the Bush Administration.
Why was the CIA so dead set against an invasion that America’s Cloak and Dagger Company did everything it could to embarrass President Bush and the Administration?
Here is my guess. Iran has been an official enemy of America since Carter sold out the Shah and allowed the Iran Revolution to proceed. As is typical of those in the American bureaucracy that favor Arab assets to accomplish National Interests, I believe the CIA was working with Saddam to do something to a mutual enemy – Iran. In that work relationship, I sense the CIA (some how) schemed with the French without the knowledge of the Bush Administration or perhaps prior to the Bush Administration.
Why do I contemplate an operation was in place prior to the Bush Administration Agenda to take Saddam down? It is because America shipped out 1.77 tons of enriched uranium out of Iraq. The story was brief but mysteriously withdrawn. Now why would the Bush Administration not take advantage of this moment of vindication?
I sense the CIA was trying to sweep complicity to an Iraqi nuclear program that would also implicate France and Russia. By the time the Bush Administration connected the dots about CIA designs that ran counter to a Bush agenda, the invasion was committed to happen or happened.
President Bush had to decide whether to look like a weak President not in control of his own government and expose America to the embarrassment of a Clinton Agenda still moving in the bureaucracy or hide the dual opposite American government agendas to project strength.
I believe the President chose the latter. Unfortunately the less embarrassing choice set Bush up to be a target by unscrupulous Democrats that had only one agenda: to regain power in government at any cost. I believe there are Democrats that are privy to the knowledge of the CIA agenda. I believe Sandy Berger stole Classified Documents and shredded them to protect Clinton and various Democrats who might be traced to the CIA, French and Russian agenda. When those documents were destroyed, President Bush lost a smoking gun to be used against his political enemies.
Thus President Bush was at the mercy of the 2006 election in hope of perpetuating a Bush agenda. The Democrats exploited enough propaganda that voters were swayed to Democrat lies. I sense President Bush has lost his resolve to follow through and acquiescing to political enemies at the expense of American honor.
I find this unbelievable! Scooter Libby was convicted with four guilty verdicts relating to perjury and obstruction of justice. Then Special Persecutor Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald proclaims this is the event that wraps four years of American taxpayer money.
Fitzgerald goes after Libby for lying about the outing of Plame. Yet Fitzgerald knew full well from the beginning of his investigation that it was Richard Armitage that outed Plame. AND Armitage outed Plame not in any attempt to cover-up anything President Bush or Vice President Cheney were doing, Armitage outed Plame to embarrass the President and Vice President because he was against invading Iraq.
In fact Fitzgerald told Armitage to keep quite about his role in leaking Plame’s name.
Plame and Wilson go Scot free about lying. There is NO indictment whatsoever for Armitage's treasonous acts and MSM manipulation to wrap his anti-War/pro-Arab agenda; then Libby is convicted for perjury and obstruction of justice.
The Yahoo News (which I found out is often edited) report makes Libby looks scandalously heinous and does not write about the appeal outlook put forth by Libby’s Attorney until the end.
The Mainstream Media (MSM) is reporting Scooter Libby’s trial using discredited information as factual news.
Ann Coulter shows how Left Wing MSNBC has taken the lies of Joe Wilson and has asked the public to consider why Wilson’s report was not used in the President’s address concerning the need to take Saddam Hussein down due to seeking nuclear WMD.
There simply is too much evidence that Joe Wilson is a biased liar that tried to sell out the Bush Administration to the Slanted Left. I know in my gut that the CIA was part of this sell out to embarrass President Bush.
Plamegate enabled the Leftie mantra “Bush Lied.”
Read Coulter’s “Yellowcake and Yellow Journalism” and see who the real liars are.
(A warm up to Reading Ann Coulter’s Column)
This is one of Ann Coulter’s best columns. Fitzgerald is a tool of the Democratic Party to try and embarrass the Bush Administration in its handling of the war in Iraq. If there can be some court evidence discovered that Saddam Hussein had zero interest in nuke WMD, then the Democrats feel they have the ammunition to nuke Neocon and Christian Right influence and possibly the entire Republican Party.
Patrick Fitzgerald was given a Special Prosecutor’s mandate to hunt down the Neocon that must have released Valerie Plame’s name to the public as an employee for the CIA. As if Plame had any operations that could harm lives of CIA operatives in Africa. Here is the great mystery: Plame is to have sent her husband (an anti-Iraq invasion persona) to to discover if Saddam Hussein was looking to buy Yellow Cake to make nukes. The adventure was so secret that he told everyone who his wife was and she sent him for the CIA.
Of Course it has been proven that anything related to what Wilson says on his adventure has been proven a lie.
And yet since Plame’s name hit the Mainstream Media (MSM), someone had to fry for crossing the CIA. The data I have read is that the CIA has not gotten along with President Bush and very likely has fed the President corrupted or unusable intelligence. I am guessing that the CIA is trying to cover their butts by making a Presidential Administration they widely dislike to look bad.
I surmise this because both Plame and Wilson were hacks of nearly zero importance to the CIA or the Diplomatic Corps. Yes, they both worked their particular professions however they hardly handled life threatening or Security threatening port folios.
Fitzgerald has spent his millions of tax payer’s money on this Leftist hunt of Neocons and has NOT indicted one person for actually leaking to the MSM Plame’s name. This is the case even after every indication is that Richard Armitage initiated the LEAK.
Armitage is not a Neocon, he is just an Arab loving old school Republican that worked in the State Department (or was it Defense – who cares?).
So what is the result of Fitzgerald’s Independent Prosecutor’s investigation? It was to try to catch a Neocon in a lie and prosecute the Neocon for perjury. The Dems really wanted to nail Karl Rove, but they could not dig any dirt that could stick to him. Next was Vice-President Cheney’s Chief of Staff I. Scooter Libby.
The indictment on Libby was for obstruction of Justice by lying or in other words perjury. Fitzgerald’s case is the Special Prosecutor’s accusation versus Libby’s claim of an inexact memory. Memory lapses that are very plausible because of all the duties a Chief of Staff performs, recalling insignificant details are not filed in the human memory banks say like a sitting President having oral sex with a White House intern before remembering her name in an actual perjury case.
