The guilty veredict on the case of Scooter Libby has started a movement by a lot of the right wing blogs and media. The cry is that Libby is a patriot and was prosecuted of lying under oath and not other crimes he was being investigated for. Where were all these hypocrites when Bill Clinton was impeached for lies about his sex lives? Is infidelity more important than the lies that took an entire nation to war?
Republicans point to the fact that democrats had the same information that the president had and that’s why the authorized the war. Well no, the democrats had the information that the administration cherry picked and gave them to make their case for war. The democrats also authorized the motion to give the president the authorization to go to war, because the president promised he would use it as a last resort.
Is it only me who remembers that when the inspectors started sending information that said they were not finding weapons that’s when the administration told the UN inspectors to get out? The Bush administration lied to get us into this war, make no mistake about it. They lied and when Ambasador Wilson gave info that contradicted their lies, they uncovered his wife’s identity. But it wasn’t just her, they revealed where she was, what she was doing, putting at risk not just Valerie Wilson, but the whole operation and any contacts the operation had.
Scooter Libby is not a patriot, Dick Cheney is not a patriot, Rove is not a patriot, their hunger for money and power is what drives them. It is not interest in the comon good. Libby lied to protect the lie. Dick Cheney says he has not benefited from the was and yet he still has Halliburton. President Bush promised to fire anyone involved in the leaking of Valery Wilson, Rove was involved and still has a job at 1600 PA avenue. IMHO that is understandable, since the President’s word hasn’t meant anything ever.
