Bush: ‘Perhaps Somebody in the Administration’ Outed CIA Operative Valerie Plame

Ya think?

The press should stop asking this creep questions. Everything the man says is an insult to the intelligence of the American people. If the press showed distain for his lies and pompous rhetoric by speaking to him, perhaps he would just shut his stupid mouth for once and for all and save us some small part of the grief he has caused us.

Twice I voted against Bush because I knew what his views were and twice I saw him re-elected. It is a bitter-sweet memory and I so wish the country hadn’t done this to themselves.

I cannot believe that someone would out a CIA operative for political reasons. This playing God with other people’s lives with no corresponding benefit. I respect folks that put it all on the line to defend this country and I despise those that seemingly make those sacrifices frivolous.

>>I cannot believe that someone would out a CIA operative for political reasons.
Get a clue, this stuff goes on everyday and not just in this white house but others too. Not to mention certain meda properties like the NYT!

Who cares! I think we should all move on and concentrate on the important things in life.

Not surprisingly, once again George Bush just doesn’t get it. It hasn’t “run its course”. Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and the other leakers are still in the Administration. How can anyone be so clueless? And of course I’m talking about the people that actually voted for Bush.

Republican’s new motto…. You can’t handle the TRUTH!!!!!!

It is sad that he knows someone in his administration outed Ms. Plame, yet he has no intentions of following though and firing them. Instead he says “it has run it’s course” Not until you keep your word it hasn’t.

Our country at so many levels has become pathetic. We’re no longer seen as a model to be admired but rather simply a place where hide and exploit the arrogance of Americans. I lived abroad in a number of different countries for 12 years and had the chance to look back at the U.S. from the outside and now that I’m back, sometimes I’m simply ashamed.

No matter is it is president Bush or his cousins the clinton’s, the gore’s, or the kerry’s- the same people that are in charge are the same people that support the federal reserve, CIA, and the irs- Yes this includes CIA Front ABC-
imagine if the people knew that the 13th amendment was never ratified by the states and how their parents were brainwashed to pay this tax by the same mouse who runs the major media.
paying this income tax- 40% of their wages are being taken away and paying for an interest that the federal reserve charges us to print our money-
Wait till the people find out about the carbon tax that Cousin Gore and head Illumanti family ROTHCHILD are pushing for-
last week- Headline News- New Jersey first state to implament the carbon tax-
WAKE UP PEOPLE!

still waiting…

To the anti-IRS posting:
Tom Cryer who was charged with tax evasion and failure to file was found innocent on his proof that the average American is not liable for income tax due to there not being any law that made him liable.
Anyone being being harassed by the IRS need to only ask for proof of the law.

“… that person …”
What a brave man. Doesn’t even have the courage to say Valerie Plame’s name.

I can’t believe the press allows this guy to float his BS past them so easily. How can this guy lead our country when he can’t even manage his administration? He has now admitted that someone in the administration violated the law. I guess “The Decider” better go ask “The Leader” (Cheney. For those who don’t know who really is leading us straight to Hell.)

This is TREASON. Why does George W. Bush hate America??? He and his crony administration should be charged with War Crimes and IMPEACHED immediately!

I think we all know who outed Valarie Plame, and your right GW, he never did come right out and admit it… as a matter of fact, he STILL lies to us today… you get my drift there Benedict?

This is the sort of government we get when church and state are mixed.
Try not to vote for a religious nut next time, folks. We need competent presidents who can manage the functions of government, not a dry-drunk preacher who is more interested in your “values” than the operation of government.

You people need to seriously listen to yourselves. This is America and you people all full of nothing, but hatred. I can’t believe there are so many paranoid people who can’t and won’t look at all this with a rational mind.

Where were you people when a not to former president lied to the camera, “I did not have sexual relations…” and then got away with it saying, “what I do in my private life…” And now your about to vote in favor of reelecting his significant other. I am disappointed in your favortism. Be consistent all the politicians have let us down!!

“You know, I’ve often thought about what would have happened had that person come forth and said, ‘I did it.’ Would we have had this, you know, endless hours of investigation and a lot of money being spent on this matter?” Bush said.
–What about all the money that his administration has been spent on a war that even GOP politicians are beginning to doubt?!

We need to march to Congress – and show Bush that this has NOT run its course! It is his presidency that has run its course!

Abc news is the ultimate collecting point of all the political dodo heads in the world. That is because a Senior Al Gore Operative was, for many years, the Political Director. I bring this to your attention becuase some intelligent force, like me, must come from outside to jar you free from your programmed thinking.

Can’t you have the courage to ask your staff who outed the CIA agent.

To the Clinton haters, Clinton was not lying to a grand jury in a CRIMINAL CASE as was the case with Scooter Libby! Clinton did not lie in order to cover up intelligence that did not fit his political agenda. Clinton did not endanger the life of a single CIA operative, nor did his actions compromise entire intelligence networks. His lie did not lead to the deaths of 3500 soldiers.
The bottom line is Cheney and King George did not want the public to know that the phony intelligence on Iraq was phony. So they exposed Valerie Plame to intimidate others from exposing the truth; That Iraq was not an “imminent” threat.
“Your either with us or against us”
…even if the truth gets in the way

Dave said;
“”Secondly the statute is very clear. Ms. Plame was not under cover If she were undercover then trust me Fitzy would have moved heaven and earth to fry Armitage and he did not. Case Closed”"
Whether Valerie Plame was currently undercover or not IS irrelevant. Once she was exposed, entire intelligence networks were comprimised! It doesn’t take much for foriegn operatives to figure this out.
In fact, the exposure of these networks has undermined intelligence gathering efforts in Middle Eastern countries.
People like yourself, have no clue how serious the damage is and I doubt you would admit it anyway. Your description of the “lovely” Valerie Plame says it all. By the way, her exposure comprimised other UNDERCOVER operatives as well. As for “Fitzy” as you describe him not prosecuting others; Be careful what you ask for…This case may not be as Bush says “behind us”.

you libs better remember you elected that clinton twice who the most corrupt , vile, unethical man on the panlet with out a conscience or shame. and you

I am still amazed at the people who profess to be Christians and who still back this administration. The President and Vice President are inveterate liars, caught flat-footed multiple times. They have no shame and a great many of their actions, and inactions as well, have caused great harm to many people. They start a war where none was needed, abandon a war that was justified, gamble freely with the lives of our troops and then show up regularly on television to flaunt their disdain of our laws and our cherished Constitution. Absolutely unreal.

Ahh Datora…that means that we can still go after Slick Willy eh?

Too much wrong headed focus…lets see
1) Impeach Bush-Yeah that ought to be completed sometime in 2009 and cost millions of collars. Wait a year and he’ll leave without the money spent
2) Valerie Plame,a covert CIA operative-Yep,a fake blond operates real covertly and is no doubt under the covers a lot.
a trophy agent, with no real job.
3) Every time the press announces a troop movement or a operation about to begin in the war…that is serious treason. It gets people killed.
4) Winning an election? Winning…? winning is what happens in a game or a bit of luck at gambling. Taking an election is not winning. It means you get a chance to be a servant of the people, take abuse from those who were not elected, make political and military decisions that may not be popular or yield the intended results. That is not “winning” in my book. After getting elected, instead of celebrating (cost millions $), politicians ought to sit down in somber reflection of what hell they are now in for, pray for guidance and forgiveness.
Finally, if the best get elected, how bad the rest of us must be. Yet we seem quick to pick up the stones for the stoning. If you use drugs, you support terroism, if you drive drunk, you are a terrorist. If you unchecked rage towards people, you are only a gun and an opportunity away from being a murderer. The President will be no better than the people he serves. We murder our own children by the millions and swat at the fly that irritates us.
We deserve to be impeached as humans as we do not do well at all. We are the hipocrites we acuse others of being.
We are the assholes.Yeah that means you.

Let me explain something further to all these on the left who have only a vague and distorted understanding of our system. It does not matter if 99.99% of the American People are against the war. We have a representative democracy. It is the congress in concert with the President who decide. It is a good thing that, to a certain extent, the Administration is insulated from the people. The people are have the fickle finger of fate stuck up their rear. Gee one day I the want a vanilla latte and the next a caramel Machiato. Look we cannot conduct the foreign policy of the United States based on the falsely ‘engineered consent’ of the vulgar masses. People who get their opinions from the view should not be allowed to vote.

Average Joe: You said it all bro… cheers!

Obviously Bush is referring to Armitage as the outer and forgetting about Rove.

It goes beyond reason regarding this administration on all counts. If we survive the next 16 months of death, incompetence, fiscal folly and deceit, there is no question that Bush and his crew will go down in history as the worst ever. It’s Animal Plane’s the MOST EXTREME show. In this case, Bush World would be the most extreme without question in all the categories listed in this post.
’nuff said.

I agree with Dubya on this: we should move on to prosecutions on the security act violations. In a time of war, how is it not treason to reveal covert security assets ? When Phillip Agee betrayed such secrets, he at least did us the favor of accepting life in exile. I’m sure all the principals in this case already own comfy condos in Dubai
d’WhayleyeauxNOW

I am so sick and tired of this administration!!..Lies, lies, lies, Can’t stand it any more!!!..and the news media is just as bad or should I say worse because instead of calling for his impeachment they just sit there and write his lies!!! Where are the real journalist???? the ones who used to care about Our country!!! Show me the power of the press!!! ABC your pathetic!!!

What a liar, he knows it then and knows it all along.

Well, president Bush’s disingenuous declaration is well in line with his tradition of arrogance, incompetence and hypocrisy. Nothing amazing here, just routine; in his own words, “they” are going to move on.

Bush reminds me of a child who is lying and thinking he is doing a good SNOW JOB when in fact the adults see right through it… he is so damn lame… it is just simply humiliating to be an American these days…

Bush is a criminal and should be impeached.

It is obvious that someone spoke recklessly, and that it came from the administration.
On the other hand, it was the media who exploited the information, and used it improperly.
No one can be entirely in control of what they say all of the time. Politicians have proven that time and again.
Trying to make it a criminal offense, in the first place, was a travesty of justice.

Uh, isn’t it well known that Dick Armitage was the leaker?
Even CNN knows this:

WHY IS THIS STILL NEWS?!?!?!?
