August 2001 - bush given intelligence

OSAMA BIN LADEN FIXING TO DO SOMETHING FUCKING BIG. Bush response: yeah okay you covered your ass.

A skeptical sumbitch might think he wanted OBL to do something big. A skeptical sumbitch might think he wanted us to believe Iran has been building a nuke for the past four years.

Do we now have another motive for outing Ms Plame?

1. There's quite a few who've seen that connection for some time now

Perhaps more will follow in light of the current revelations. At least I hope they will.

4. There is absolutely no evidence

Evidence that Shrub ever had any kind of intelligence, that is. Everything points to him having always been as dumb as a post. :toast:

5. August 2001---it didn't take.

The real outing was Brewster Jennings. Making sure the cover organization was outed meant the whole group working on tracking nuclear proliferation in the Middle East was compromised. That meant Cheney could lie with impunity because no information to the contrary was coming in.

And that, kiddies, is what makes this rise to the level of treason.

Outing Plame was a crime, a felony. Outing Brewster Jennings blinded the CIA in a very important area just so the PNAC cabal could lie us into war after war. That's treason.

7. DING DING DING

I think we might have a winner here, folks.

Plame was just the tip of the iceberg, albeit an important one.

6. If Bush was ever given any intelligence he lost it before it took effect.

8. Bush** and intelligence: does not compute. Seriously, they ignored the intel,

I'm betting because it was gathered under Clinton's watch.

9. plus they seen it as just what they needed to put the patriot act into play

hundreds of pages and it was voted on only 45 days after 9/11 makes me think they already had that waiting, waiting for the right time to spring it on us. premeditating reasons for starting an illegal war is a crime isn't it.
