Cheney leaked the name of a CIA agent. Then Libby lied about it. Get over it. Best thing Bushie could do is jettison Cheney et. al.

fedup: Try to be current. The latest leftie meme leaves out Cheney and goes directly for the President. I have often said that conservative, Christian white men have fewer free speech rights than anyone else in the MSM, and this proves that correct once again. After the soundbites about the hunting accident no longer work, the hate-filled lefties have searched for other ammo.

What dream world are you living on?? Joe Wilson gave the CORRECT information. It was BUSH and his boys passing out the false crap.
If the document was "declassified" why was it necessary to leak it, sneaking it out through back channels? If it was information released "in the public interest", why not release it in an upfront manner? Why was it leaked out days before Scott McClellan said it was "officially declassified?"
Also, If George Bush knew facts of the case that Fitzy was investigating and didn’t come forward, wouldn’t "Obstruction of Justice" apply? Remember, that’s what the Right Wing bully boys slimed B.C. with.
But I would give my false teeth to hear some reporters ask "If it was important information that ‘the public should know’, and the President declassified it, why wasn’t it put out in the form of a Press Release? Why did the Press Secretary claim no knowledge of a declassified document? Didn’t he ask about it after reporters questioned him? Why wasn’t he told so he could pass the important declassified information along?"
How can you people continue to support this corruption of American values? I thought you were supposed to believe in the Constitution and Liberty. Was I so wrong?

Joe Wilson lied. He tried to conflate "sought" with "bought". The truth is that the President said "British Intelligence said that Saddam sought uranium ore from Africa". His statement was true. What British Intelligence said was true. What Joe Wilson said was false.

British Intelligence predicts crow for dinner at the whitehouse for the forseeable future.
The Washington Post deserves credit for getting this right.
There was nothing illegal, unethical or in anyway wrong with the president releasing information to the public disproving Joe Wilson’s lies. The idea that Wilson was free to speak (and lie) but the president was somehow prevented from getting out the truth is absurd.

Odd that nobody here really seems to mind the cowardly way Bush & Company went about disseminating the "truth."
Anyone care to explain why he didn’t stand up and defend himself if he felt so wronged? Why he didn’t make the case in front of the American people at the time? Why he didn’t - and hasn’t - provided any proof to refute Joe Wilson?
What, is he depending on FOX news as a defense against all comers?

The MSM carried the liar’s water. He never proved his lies were true, he just spewed them to a sycophantic audience. If the truth isn’t on your side, criticize the President for style. Very substantive. Oh, and get Fox News in there, as well. Good leftie hate points. He didn’t feel wronged, he was wronged. As far as proof is concerned, he said that British Intelligence told him, and British Intelligence has affirmed that. How much more proof do you need to know that his initial statement was, in fact, true? I suspect nothing will please you, since it’s not about the facts with you lefties, it’s about feelings.

WHAT "facts"?? The only fact is that BUSH lied to get us into a war. You should do a little more research...look up Condi Rice in July of 2001 for her "feelings" on how much of a threat Saddam was.
Read the 9/11 commission report all the way through. Don’t be like your beloved George and only read the sentence you need to bolster your claims, read the whole thing.
Then read the U.N. Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and our own Constitution. Within you will discover a new world - one which the Righties don’t want you to learn about - a call for Liberty.
Truth IS on my side. I didn’t question Bush’s "style" - there WAS no style. He cowardly hid until he couldn’t hide any longer. Then he came up with transparently bogus excuses..."The report was declassified ten days before it was declassified so we could get the discredited part to the public - using our best shills in the press - in order to get MORE disinformation out to support our wrongheaded blundering into Iraq"
Research the CIA memo dated March 4, 2002 - long before the SOTU or the invasion. They rejected the British Intelligence as unsubstantiated hogwash. ALL of it - not just the Italian supplied stuff. When Jack Straw was questioned about the "secondary source," he lied and said B.I. had turned over the info to the IAEA - which never happened.
The biggest scam in history and you guys are still falling for it. What chumps.
