First, let me make clear my position on this. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage should have been prosecuted and locked up. I wouldn’t have cared if it was President Bush that released her name to the press, that person should have been prosecuted. The fact that the democratic party for all it’s bluster and investigation only accomplished one thing. A glorified witch hunt and prosecution of Libby. For all their outrage about an agents life being put in danger, once they got their teeth into Libby. They never looked back. And even after Richard Armitage admitted that he was the one that released that information, they wouldn’t press charges.
What does this tell our men and women that are covert agents? It doesn’t matter if their cover is blown for political purposes. What does this tell us about the democratic party. They do not care one bit about the men and women that put their lives forward for this country. It’s all about political gain for them. I seriously doubt the democrat’s sincerity in their CONCERN for our soldiers in Iraq because of this instance. They have already shown that they are only after this president, and it doesn’t matter that lives can be lost to achieve this goal. It’s all about them reacquiring the office of president, and nothing else. It also makes you wonder if the democratic party even worries about the security of this nation if it interferes with their political gain.
A quote from Lindsay Moran’s interview from newsweek: [b]Former spy Lindsay Moran says the CIA remains a ‘challenging’ environment for women like Valerie Plame.[/b]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17632448/
[b]What is the impact in the long run of the Plame case?[/b]
[i]The fact that it happened is a loss to the agency?longtime covert operatives like Plame don’t grow on trees?but, more importantly, it sets a dangerous precedent, suggesting that it’s OK to “out” a CIA officer. So far, no one has been held accountable for that particular transgression.[/i]
This also shows how little integrity the press has. It’s all about sales and their liberal agenda.
This is crap, pure utter crap. The prosecutor should be fired for not prosecuting the admitted offender of this CRIMINAL offence. The democratic party should be looked at with open eyes now that it is shown their bluster and outrage is purely false. And again, Richard Armitage should be locked up and have the key thrown away.
If this joke of an investigation would have charged and prosecuted Libby for perjury along with prosecuting Richard Armitage, I would have had no issue with this at all. At least it would have been shown that the democrats were serious about their convictions. This shows they are not. And this shows why they better prove themselves real damn soon, because I will shove this in any ones face that tells me that the democrats wouldn’t have 3000 body bags if they would have been in office. Bull sh*t, there would be 3000 body bags because the only things they have any conviction for is taking over political power. And it doesn’t matter who’s life was put in jeopardy or lost to get it. Screw the democrats, where is the outrage that the person that released this information is still free.
I know, it’s like their other convictions. It doesn’t matter as long as the current president is run out of office. That and they still haven’t shown the damn balls to stand up and fight against a president that they dislike. They are doing everything to look good without accomplishing a damn thing.
What a bunch of low life wuss’s. We would be bowing to Mecca right now if the democrats were in office. And this case just proves my statement.
What else does this show me. I was wrong in hoping that the right person would be prosecuted in the this crime. I was hoping for all the bluster that the democrats were showing, that they would be true to their word and lock up the prick that released this woman’s name. I was wrong, and I won’t forget this error in my judgment.
