Bush ADMITS someone in the White House leaked Plame's name - Wants to 'move on'

Bush Seeks to Put Libby Issue to Rest

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush on Thursday acknowledged publicly for the first time that someone in his administration likely leaked the name of a CIA operative, although he also said he hopes the controversy over his decision to spare prison for a former White House aide has "run its course."

"And now we're going to move on," Bush said in a White House news conference.

The president had initially said he would fire anyone in his administration found to have publicly disclosed the identity of Valerie Plame, the wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson and a CIA operative. Ten days ago, Bush commuted the 30-month sentence given to I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby by a federal judge in connection with the case.

"I'm aware of the fact that perhaps somebody in the administration did disclose the name of that person," Bush said. "I've often thought about what would have happened if that person had come forth and said, 'I did it.' Would we have had this endless hours of investigation and a lot of money being spent on this matter? But, so, it's been a tough issue for a lot of people in the White House. It's run its course and now we're going to move on."

stranger than comedy

I've tried that... it's just as unsatisfying as reality.

Evidently he meant it.

He really did "take care of them" all right! He took such good care of them that they ended up having to spend less time in jail than Paris Hilton. Bravo!:sarcasm: Oh, and it was even a "fair and balanced" decision to boot.

more lies.

He was ticked, and thus, "I've moved on."

He knew, I always felt he knew who it was

proceedings against these criminals.

By failing to do so, the Dems are becoming accomplices to the crimes.

The rest of us will continue to put this country back on track! Our endless search for the truth will be your undoing. You always have been a low energy guy!

from the start, wheres your balls, son. I'd a done it hell I admit to all kinds of illegal shit, like torture, spying, need I go further.

This is bs. Rove admitted that he leaked Plame's name. He admitted the truth while under oath, but continued to lie to the public.

That right there ticks me off. Who does this guy think he is anyway? The overgrown frat boy owes the American people an explanation and apology at the very least. He promised to fire anyone in his Administration involved in this, yet he has done nothing but reward a liar who obstructed justice.

:argh:

I remember that was one of their talking points: "she isn't undercover."

well, shrub, if that's true, there there is nothing to leak, is there?

50 FBI agents on the whitewater case, who might have otherwise caught Bin Laden's boys and 75 million dollars spent and all the GOP had was Monica...

HAS HE DONE THAT.

Which he did when he commuted libby's sentence/

The reporter was quite surprised.

you murdering sob...where is the intelligence report you little fucker..where is the report that tells how our intelligence was ruined by what you did releasing Valerie's name??

you think you can run out the clock..but not in my mind..you will never run out the clock on outting a Lady who put her life on the line..so my children could live safely..

no you fucker..if it takes till my last breath..i will never move on!!

you sick pathetic excuse of a human being!!

fly

Likely? No, undoubtedly, and you've know precisely who for several years. Armitage, Rove, Libby and Fliescher. Furthermore, they did it because Cheney told 'em something they didn't need to know so that they'd do exactly what they did.

Bush reminds me of the scottish king in The Search for the Holy Grail; "Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who."

Our collective attention span is getting shorter by the day. At one time, one had to wait a decent interval before skipping accountability in the trip from denial to forgiveness, now it's only a couple of years.

Also seems to have resurrected the "it's hard work" theme.

How do I get that gig?

Bleh!

national security, and possibly killed people. Happy? Now just get over it!"

Where would we be now if the Democratic leadership and CIA had just rolled over and played dead, just because Nixon refused to answer subpoenas?
