If you want to follow those right-wing parrots, fine. I’ve got no problems with that. Yet the fact that you would support and stand behind a person who lied to prove some political point is on your conscience, and speaks to your “moral” values. It’s just strange that for eight years, you people wanted to find the “truth” about anything and everything regarding Clinton. Where’s the intensity for the truth now? Or was all that Clinton crap a game you all played for personal gain? The only conclusion I can draw from all that, in comparison to what’s gone on in the last 4 1/2 years is that you have no regard for the truth. Not unless it makes your political point, anyway. If you all were so hungry for the actual truth, you would be approaching this case with the same intensity that you put into File-Travel-Paula-Monica-China-whatever-the-hell-ever-else-Gate all those years.

I’m willing to bet $100 over 20 years that you won’t. Cowards. You talk a lot of bull about values, morals, and the truth, but you can’t back it up.

Joe Wilson is one of the most impressive diplomats this country has produced:

* 1976-1978: General Services Officer, U.S Embassy, Niger
* 1978-1979: Administrative Officer, U.S. Embassy, Togo
* 1979-1981: Administrative Officer, State Department
* 1981-1982: Administrative Officer, U.S. Embassy, South Africa
* 1982-1985: Deputy Chief of Mission, U.S. Embassy, Burundi
* 1985-1986: Congressional Fellow, offices of Sen. Al Gore and Rep. Tom Foley
* 1986-1988: Deputy Chief of Mission, U.S. Embassy, Republic of the Congo
* 1988-1991: Deputy Chief of Mission, U.S. Embassy, Iraq
* 1992-1995: Ambassador to Gabon and São Tomé and Príncipe (concurrently)
* 1995-1997: Political Adviser to Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Armed Forces Europe
* 1997-1998: Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for African Affairs, National Security Council

Note that Iraq appointment and this anecdote:

“As acting ambassador to Iraq in the run-up to the first Gulf War, he was the last US diplomat to meet with Saddam Hussein, in 1991.

He very publicly defied the Iraqi strongman by giving refuge to more than 100 US citizens at the embassy and in the homes of US diplomats – at a time when Saddam Hussein was threatening to execute anyone who harboured foreigners.

He then addressed journalists wearing a hangman’s noose instead of a necktie.

He later told the Washington Post newspaper that the message to Saddam Hussein was: “If you want to execute me, I’ll bring my own [expletive] rope.” ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3156166.stm)

Go ahead with your blind faith. Convince yourself that Joe Wilson is liar. Rove is used to his victims rolling over but in Wilson, a man of utmost integrity, he’s met his match. You want to follow him over the cliff?

Go lemmings, go.

I would have to agree with TND, John S. get over it.

Get over what, exactly? I refer to you post #49.

Rove was the next in a list of targets by the left to discredit the administration.

This administration doesn’t need to have anyone targeted for discrediting. They do a fine job of it all by themselves.

It is obvious now that Rove committed no crime

Obvious to whom? You and the rest of the GOP? I daresay your opinion of any consequence to Fitzgerald. But you sound so sure of yourself…what is your rationale that leads you to believe that Rove committed no crime? What proof do you have that the grand jury doesn’t?

Get over it and move on.

Are you still talking about last year’s election, or a criminal investigation that has yet to be concluded?

John S. – get over it. You lost the election. Rove was defending the Admin against a LIAR like Joe Wilson.I did not run for office, so I didn’t lose anything.

Also, where is your proof that Wilson lied about the administration?

Clinton smeared Kathleen Willey, Ken Starr, Paula Jones, Newt – the list is endless.

Care to provide evidence, or are we to simply take you at your word (whatever that is worth)?

This is politics and you are LOSING. AND you are losing because you are no longer relevant. Conservatives are fighting back and I promise you it will only get worse. You’re days are up!

Again, I am not losing anything. And the only thing irrelevant here are your comments. If this is how conservatives “fight back” – with scurrilous claims and dodging questions – then I am not too concerned.

This outing was a direct result of Wilson refusing to “fix intelligence”.

This scandal reinforces the Downing Street Minutes accuracy.

Ha, Ha, BushCo is going down for attacking a country illegally.

Clinton smeared Kathleen Willey, Ken Starr, Paula Jones, Newt – the list is endless. This is politics and you are LOSING. AND you are losing because you are no longer relevant. Conservatives are fighting back and I promise you it will only get worse. You’re days are up!

you appear to have the left’s talking points in order, as well

Since when is stating the obvious a “talking point”? Last time I checked, talking points were meant to organize a response that is not obvious, and therefore must be carefully rehearsed. But I am curious as to what lefty talking points you think I am reciting.

of course they were going to fire back just like Clinton did

Clinton tried to smear the reputation of his accusers? Do you happen to have an example of this you can cite?

Bottom line folks – what can you do even if Rove did lie?

So now you advocate that might makes right? A brilliant, though fallacious, argument you have there. As long as we are still a nation of laws, your pathetic hyperbole will not pass as an exoneration for whatever unfolds.

So back to the point…why is Rove engaging in a smear campaign if he is not trying desperately to shift the focus off himself (much in the way your entire post tries to shift the focus off relevant issues)?

Joe Wilson accused the Admin of lying – of course they were going to fire back just like Clinton did. That’s politics – something liberals seem to have no grasp on anymore. Terry Moran and the MSM minions days are numbered.

Bottom line folks – what can you do even if Rove did lie? Supoena the White House? Hold hearings? No – that requires having a power base and you have none because you keep trying to smear Bush instead of talking about issues.

But, don’t stop there. The GOP thanks you and will gladly use your hate in the next election!

Of course, but that has noever been proved, and of course is irrelevant to the matter at hand.

But you have dutifully played the card you were told to by the GOP talking points, and your party salutes you.

Now would you care to explain the relevance of your cunard to Rove leaking information to a reporter to smear Wilson?
