AND so we learn it was former US deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage - Australia's best friend in the US - not the Bush White House who was the first to out Valerie Plame as a CIA employee.
With this knowledge is demolished yet another left-liberal fantasy about George W. Bush. |

That's ok, there are plenty of other reasons to prove he is one of the biggest morons to ever lead America. And I don't accept the "just faking stupidity" argument  |

Armitage WASN'T Asst. Sec. of St.??? He WASN'T part of the Bush Administration?
What is your point? This changes nothing but the name. And, frankly, it has the smell of scapegoating. It really matters not who spoke to the reporter: they were just following orders. (Though they will never admit it. At least, not until it's safe to write their memoirs.) |

Eagles...
You've just dropped in a quote without an author, context or a source and
highlighted one phrase.
How can you think this has proven something?? |

i think it is the columnist david brooks of the NY times. He wrote a column about it a week or two ago.

I realize it is hard to grasp the point of the article due to the short bit posted, but the author was noting the hypocriscy of the media. He wasn't excusing the Bush administration.
The media:
It's ROVE! He's Evil! More proof!
Then: Richard Armitage apparently is the leak.
Or so Brooks thinks. I do think the news services look bad here. I wasn't aware it was Armitage until I read his column. It hasn't gotten much publicity at all.
edit: corrected writer's name.

| Weren't the existence of secret CIA prisons also a 'liberal lie'? Note that Bush is rather eloquent when he's defending himself, but speaks like a good old boy when he's speaking of the 'war' on terrorism? Rather obvious who his audiences are in each case.) |

| i'm shocked by what bush has been admitting this month: he's to blame on Katrina, there are secret CIA prisons, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. ... what's next? |

| Bush is having his people kill children and torture innocent people. Would Jesus do this? Would Jesus accept that the death of children is, while regrettable, part of war? What side are you on, exactly? The side that kills and tortures for political gain? Did St. Peter order his followers to kill romans and torture people to find out when the romans might strike next? Aren't Bush's policies kind of the exact opposite of the message Jesus preached, the message you portend to follow? |

Here's something to think about: The reason that the USFK is being relocated further south has alot to do with the fact that the US governement wants North Korea to know that, since 9/11, Americans have been 'cured' of the Vietnam syndrome. The Bush government doesn't need the death of American soldiers to win over the public's approval for an attack on North Korea in the event that its tanks cross the border.

Bush takes responsibility on Katrina
By Anne Kornblut and Adam Nossiter (The New York Times)
President George W. Bush, still at pains to demonstrate his concern over the devastation of Hurricane Katrina a full year after the storm, said he took "full responsibility" for the slow federal response |
