The time is now for impechment. This man thinks he and his friends are above the law. It is time to end the Imperial Presidentcy.
Bush's decision to block Libby's prison sentence for lying and
obstructing justice was corrupt.
So, Bush thinks it is OK to compromise an intelligence gathering mission by exposing the operative and trying to get her killed, simply because she is married to someone who writes press reports he does not like. I guess this show why this administration had no real intelligence on IRAQ before getting 4000 Americans killed there for nothing. Also, this indicates no respect for the press, the constitution, or the principles this country was built upon.

Just like Daddy and Casper Weinberger, King George II keeps a treasonous felon from prison. Welcome to the Jungle. America is no more.
Libby is now marked with being a team player. In other words, he will be the cream of the crop choice for conservative think tanks. His job potential just increased dramatically. And of course, he will be invited to shoot bird with Cheney, Scalia and the rest of the good old boy network. Libby probably has obtained the stature of an icon in the network of Washington. Invited to all the parties, on speaker lists for sure, council to any conservative operation, back room contracts for sweetheart deals. That is not 'harsh punishment'. Libby has it made in every sense of the word. The $250,000 fine? Big deal. One check from a patron will buy Libby out of that easy.
Yes Jack... You're so right. The time is now. At the end of his second term. You're a bandwagon idiot.
I believe its time for congress and the citizens to get after these fecal stained cowards who have been getting our children killed for too long a time. Who's country is it anyway. What was it the populous did to corrupt and deadly kings, they shamed him verbally, publicly, leaving the king to go into exile.
In our stripped down democracy our elected representatives, (whether they were elected legally or otherwise is a good question but thats another arrow into the chest of this country which we must sleep past for this moment), have the power to impeach, but do our representative, i.e. we/we have the guts to get nose to nose.
I doubt we do.
Just like Clinton's lying. He did not go to prison either.
The Bush crime syndicate racks up another win. Doesn't anyone know how to dethrone the little Emperor?
NO ONE WAS PUT IN JEPOARDY! NO ONE WAS WORKING UNDERCOVBER OR HAD IN A LONG TIME!! SCOOTER DID NOT DESERVE TO GO TO JAil!!! LONG LIVE KING GEORGE!!!!
I can hear them now....Clinton didn't serve time for lying about having consentual sex. Yes, exposing a CIA operative and her network - who were engaged in hunting down WMDs on the black market - is just like 'getting a little' on the side.
How low the conservatives have fallen....and they are dragging America down with them.
No one was placed in jepoardy, the parties involved had not worked undercover for a long tim!! Scooter did not deserve to go to jail. George Bush did the right thing. Long live King George!!
Many lives have been jeopardized because this White House - including the felon 'Scooter' Libby - exposed a CIA operative and her team. But alas, only those who ask for FACTS, not fiction, would know that.
You are all fools. How can you think that this is right or fair?
I was pleased to hear that President Bush commuted the sentence of 2 1/2 years in jail for Scooter Libby.
This was an outrageous political show trial which made it clear why Special Prosecutors need to be controlled and supervised. The principles under which the Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald was able to extend and expand his prosecution beyond his assignment, and go fishing around to entrap Scooter Libby are totally un-American and unfair. And, then to insist that Libby was to go to jail during the appeals process shows that hate and revenge was the motive, not a fair trial, or a fair verdict.
Tell me, why should Mr. Fitzgerald not get the same treatment than North Carolina prosecutor Nifong? They were both totally dishonest. I wish President Bush would also dismiss Fitzgerald before he does more mischief to our judicial system.
so the dem are complaning about rule of law. last week they were letting 23 million rule of law breakers run . im dont like bush but im not impressed with the dem thinking there all right and without sin. we have a problem in case you havent noticed with both sides here . with a goverment both sides show arrogance aganst the american people just listen to how they talk to you mrs clinton sounds like shes talking to a bunch of 2 year olds in fact most dems speak that way if you want to follow like sheep be my guest im not a pary to it any longer bush is on his way i think evey one that runs for office should have a price tag. this is how much its going to cost over there life time in office
Here is a man who signed how many death-warrants during his tenure as governor of Texas?? How many commutations did he issue back then?? Now that a political-insider is sentenced to jail, Mr. Bush is overcome with the sense that perhaps the punishment does not fit the crime.
Impeach this JACKASS he has ruiend this Country.
Scoot never had anything to do with Plame. Even the prosecutor said so and could not make a case. Instead, he trumped up charges and got a conviction.
Perhaps Liberals can get susan Saranden to show up on his behalf, like she did for Tookie?
How come no one ever asks why Armitige DID out her???
as far as the our children getting killed they are not childern thats what i exect any programed sheep to say they are fighting for you. to keep you safe and you insult them by calling them childern. you are saying they are mind less they are keeping the enemy over there so you dont have to be blown up by a road side bomb when you feed you face at burger king .read the news lately car bombs in the uk are security isnt even close to being ready for car and road side bombs get ready because after we surrender they will follow. unlike you they dont give up
Yeah, Clinton's lies were very hurtful, damaging in fact, thousands laughed and thousands cringed, but none bled.
aj
the unofficial count on USA armed forces is around 20,000, not 4,000 as this admin is saying, what about the wounded, what about the 3,000 @9/11, but it's actually a lot worse then that, in fact it is so horrific, that the English language has really no words to describe it (perhaps hirshoma)
DU, yes everyone in the iraq area has it !! be it usa troops, brits, kiwi's, and it is now rearing its head as the troops come home, anyone run a g counter at the cemetery's??, focus on 9/11 put you energy's into that, find a group, check them out and get stuck in, thats were its all at!!!
Compromising national security is a-okay when the national security is countering zionist propagnada.
When will you people wake up and realize its not the hand puppets (bush etc) that you need to get rid of, its the ZIONISTS. Our country is occupied by forigen interests.
Turn off you TV's and wake uo, we have 2 majopr parties that tow the same line.
As soon as he has paid his fine - send him to the front lines in Iraq!
Bush and pals put their own fortunes and their own ideology above the interests of the United States of America. They will be known as traitors and criminals for the rest of time. This travesty of justice will be remembered.
I saw this coming along time ago, I mean what would you expect from a yellow belly coward, and his administration of criminals, like they would up hold the law. Yellow belly Bush ran for his life after the 911 attacks, then he makes up stories about Iraq, and anybody that came out trying to tell the truth, was silenced. The worse part is, there are still people that support the war in Iraq. Do you think yellow belly bush would serve in Iraq, he would figure away out it just like Nam. All bush cares about is the rich, and powerful, and that is why he gives them the tax breaks. And he will not protect the country from the invasion from Mexico, so the rich can have cheap labor.
The worse part is, when yellow belly gets out, look what will take his place, now talk about some sleepless nights ahead. What has happened to our country? where are all the hero's? Shouldn't a test be given to all people who intend to run for president? For that matter a test should be given to any person running for any office, and it has to be in English too... oh look Sesame Street is on, I got to go.............
MR.Libby was convicted of Pergury.Perjury is lying under oath.It is a felony.He receved a jury trial and was convicted.Acording to the senencing guidelines his sentence was appropriate.All people who are convicted of thhave the same guidelines.Unless you're pals with a President who recognizes no athority but his own.
I am appalled and disgusted.
What exactly was Clinton lying about?A blowjob?Big deal ,only neocons dare to compare protecting one's private life from biggot and evangelical interfering with matters of state .Nothing better to offer as argument?Compared to Bush Clinton is the pinnacle of honesty ,and that is a fact .
Unfortunately its just another case of the slime protecting the grime.
I wonder what the Zionist lobby have on Bush,
Why does he kow-tow to their every wish?
The president of the united states of america seems to be BENT!!!
But its nothing less than what we expect of Bush and his cosy group of neocans. He is the Worst President in History and an embaressment worthy of all the ridicule we can heap on him. Shame on the Religious Right for supporting his election campaign. Look what you've done!!!
The Bush administration has shed its last vestige of decency by its shameless pardon of a convicted criminal. I'm ashamed of the president.
Blow job Bill and his antics in the oral office were a little light relief (hee hee) compared to this criminal! Maybe though he had little choice, the 'scooter' must be able to dish the dirt bigtime. I'm not a US citizen but if I were I would be outraged by this holy rolling idiot.It's no small wonder that the US is passing from being disliked to being hated around the world!
This comment is not specifically about the Libby commutation though it does enter into it. I think that when most US citizens speak about their founding fathers, they tend to speak in glowing terms of their wisdom. But, in granting a President the right to intervene in prison sentences, this couldn't have been one of their wiser decisions. Deep down, I don't think the founding fathers ever expected this power to be used to benefit the friends, relatives, former superiors, or former subordinates of the President himself ... but rather, strangers for whom leniency is petitioned.
I think it's time for a new Constitutional amendment ... to limit these powers to exclude the President's friends, relatives, former superiors, and former subordinates.
where the fvck are we?this cant be America,how long are these murdering assholes going to get away with this ,the democrats were elected to end the war in Iraq,at least America now sees the democrats for what they are,the same as the republican trash,the two party system is dead in America vote green,dems are no better than the neocons
It's about TIME this came out in Monsters and Critics...
Libby's pardoning is complete and utter BS. Right along with the pardoning of Gonzales.
It just shows you to whom the laws of this country apply to and to whom they do not; that as long as you're part of the ruling elite, you can get away with pretty much anything.
Whatever happened for 'do the crime, do the time?' Why does Paris Hilton spend more time in jail than Libby?
Libby didn't out Plame and he didn't hinder the investigation. The special prosecutor, Fitzgerald, knew it was Armitage at the beginning. Well done President Bush. He saved an innocent man from an unjust, political sentence that the trial judge imposed.
I hope the nut jobs get outraged and leave the United States for Canada, Mexico, or France. It will only improve the good old U S of A if they skidaddle. Good riddance malcontents.
That Bush just does not care what folks think, eh?
How can anyone not see the arrogance and hideous abuse of power by this administration? Blind love for King George and King Dick? Wake up America. Our 'democracy' is more at risk than meets the blind eye......time to impeach. George and Dick should both go to jail forever.
While it is tempting to claim what Bush's actions 'prove' what they powerfully suggest is disturbing. First, it suggests that this is an admission of Bush's own responsibility. Second, it suggests the possibility that if Libby had been forced to do time, he might have spilled the beans. Third, it suggests that Bush had planned to keep his buddy out of prison all along and was hoping that the normal appeals process would prevent him having to do so and pay the political consequence...and if so, it is reasonable to suppose that he will have told Libby that from the beginning in order to assure his silence. So Libby's suffering is in that scenario, vastly overrated and public drama nothing but acting...bad acting, I grant you.
Now, frankly, we all know that Bush's office was complicit in leaking the identity of Plame. Everyone who saw the testimony before the Senate committee saw the chart of how the news was released. We all know that without some sort of smoking gun like a recorded conversation, we will never establish that they knew she was covert or that they knew they were committing a crime because they aren't going to tell us that Cheney and Rove set the thing in motion and that Bush was complicit in the coverup. George appears more and more to be a proxy president ... sure he adds to their neo-con nonsense and is their spokesman ... but he's not pulling all the strings.
Of course, in the past, George has simply claimed that anything he chooses to leak is an intentional declassification. But then we all know how much respect Bush has for the rule of law. It is a truly sad state of affairs when the president, vice president and leader in the senate (Pelosi) are all so pathetic that we cannot hope for good leadership no matter how many we might put in jail.

1)First Stick your Neocon Neocon Neocon up your socialist behind
2) Clinton lied under oath about something that didn’t matter, but it was still Perjury
3) Scooter also lied about the sequence of events, which also didn’t matter, because he was not found quilt of anything except lying under oath--Perjury.
4) He did not out her he just lied about bullshit like Clinton---both men should have not been hassled about their actions--just the Perjury--caused by 2 witch hunts that served no useful purpose
5)Pinnacle--of---honesty---Clinton let more felons go than any modern president in the last 50 years--IN EXCHANGE for MONEY for his libary and personal favors for relatives and friends
BUSH--has pardoned the least number of people in modern history--dumbass
SO THEY BOTH COMMITED THE SAME CRIME AND CLINTON GOT OFF COMPLETELY AND SCOOTER IS HIT WITH A 250000 FINE AND PROBATION---no it isn’t fair----- to Libby
From now on folks let's referr to Tonny as a dingbat-con--a dumbass-con--or just a Kahn -weiner
The facts as we have them regarding Plame come from her testimony before the Senate committee. She was asked if she had been working undercover recently and the answer was an unequivocal 'yes'. I think she even said she had recently been outside the country on assignment. We aren't going to hear any more direct facts from any side on that from anywhere considering it is remarkable that she was allowed to testify on covert CIA operations in the first place.
Damage was done to the United States in revealing her ... not simply to her career but to the spy network and to her usefulness to the U.S. as a spy. It was illegal and traitorous to reveal her.
Libby was shown to have participated in the chain of revelations and to have lied about that ... which is perjury and obstruction of justice. Clinton's perjury was that he lied about cheating on his wife with an intern. He did damage to the office, showed disrespect for marriage, and so on. It wasn't good but it wasn't treason. I suppose it could be argued that Clinton was validly pardoned for the sake of the office of the president and many did so in both parties. It would be difficult to make a case for how protecting Libby bolsters the office of the president ... except insofar as we accept the theory that if Libby wasn't given a deal, he would have blown the whistle. That takes both moral and real authority away from the president by acknowledging that it is essentially either blackmail else conspiracy.
As to all those who are wailing about how 'nice' Mr. Scooter is and now wrong it is to make him take the fall, tell that to the people responsible who are letting him take the fall. Cowardice and complicity are all we seem to get from this administration. Now, they are beating the war drums again, finding in Iran, new justifications for continuing Bush's war in Iraq. They are destroying the military of this country and that is traitorous in itself.
us crooks have to watch out for each other in the whitehouse
yah lets impeach bush and let chaney take over .that would be like suicide
burn a flag on the 4th in honor of bush
Pull that shit in my neighborhood and you will enjoy a hospital stay
Where were all you partisan hypocrites when Clinton was doling out all his pardons or when Sandy Berger who actually committed a crime stealing documents from the National Archives, a crime for which anybody else would be serving time, got off with token penalties...a small fine and limited loss of practicing law...outrageous. And what about Nancy Pelosi's appointment of William Jefferson to a committee after knowing of the investigation into his obvious kickback scheme, where was the rebuke. The revelation here other than the hypocrisy of the Democratic party is the process to follow when your asked to help a special prosecutor. You do one of the following:
1 Decline
2 Have a damn good lawyer with you
3 Use the Hillary scheme 'I don't recall
Who is honestly suprised that W pardoned Scooter?The Republicans are the most evil party since the Nazi Party!
chances are your neigborhood is full of terrorist
a lover of georgey boy
Fitzgerald with all the time and money did NOT show Plame to be covert. One of the authors of that bill said she did not come under the jurisdiction of that law at that time. She could be seen walking in and out of the CIA building everyday something a covert agent would not do. Her husband Joe Wilson wrote about her in Who's who. Not something you do to a covert agent. The prosecutor knew this and new about Armitage...this phony partisan case should have been dismissed...waste of time and money.
ella fitzgerald?
The liberals spend all their time attacking Bush??
Because they have been in charge of congress for almost a year now and have done nothing they promised and spent more money than even the old congress
And the rest of the complainers arn't even from this country, and don't want to face up to their own countries poor conditions
better not talk bad about cheaney,he knows how 2 use a shotgun
Bush is running wild and you pepole are letting it happen!
Why is everybody surprised our president did this? He's corrupt, has no respect for anyone or their thoughts, and would force HIS thoughts and beliefs on all of America if he had it his way. He's a barbarian living in the dark ages of executions for being the wrong religion (oh, that's still happening isn't it?) I agree with the first poster. It's time for an impeachment. This president has failed his country miserably over and over again.
As usual neocon republicans are trying to turn a wrong into a right by bringing in so called wrongdoing of Pelosi,Busg,etc,etc.Are they perhaps willing to tell us if that is some kind of justification? Or are they trying to reinvent the lightning rod ?
If I were Bill Clinton I would have told Kenneth Starr to piss off when asked about Lewinski .Only the right wing neocons and their contemporary acolytes dare to think that a justified lie about your private life ,which is nobody's bizness even in the USA ,is equal to the present situation.THe whole ridiculous lewinski affair was a complot bt neocons,fox,evangelists and biggots from the republican party trying to smear Clinton ?Only they can be offensed by such trifle as a blow job,going through all the silly procedures as examining Lewinski's dress for semen .THe whole affair was wipped up for months and months ,inflated out of proportions .Are they perhaps jealous because they never got head in their pitifull lives ?How ridiculous .I guess it must be hard to be a neocon nowadays .THe only tactic they know is trying to drag the democrats in their bath and share the dirty water.What a ridiculous defense that makes .
Democracy my butt!
What this country needs is a good old-fashioned coup d'etat and may the dictator, vice dictator and their staff suffer the same fate as mussolini and his mistress.
i'll be the first to defacate on their graves.
to hell with the hypocratican (republican) party!
Scooter, just another good-old boy name for a short and ugly Rep(tile)ublican.
..simply not understanding USA law. Clinton tried to tell the judge to piss off, but he underestimated the power of the supoena. There is no such thing as private, in public office, as Clinton discovered. he could have avoided all of this by simply telling the truth (what a concept) but as a white house aide once said 'they're from Arkansas, they always lie right off the bat!')
Tonny, when you live in a Constitutional democracy, you are not supposed to be above the law, even if you are libnzi from Arkansas. Ol GW did the right thing and pleased no one except ol Scoot. He should be pardoned. Hopefuly, this will still happen.
As far as I know, Fox may be the antichrist, but they do not run courts in the USA. As for 'neocons' there are only Conservatives.
A pardon is in sight - Bush will do it because he can!
To be sure. Besides, he has a 10% chance of winning on appeal. If he does, it'll just frost the crap out of the left. It will be interestinng to see what the assignment clause does to this.
When you read the chronology on this, it is just astounding how this guy ever got nailed. Had he plead the 5th, this would be a non-event. How a man with his resume' got himself into this is beyond me.

FALN Pardons of 1999
On August 11, 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN, a violent Puerto Rican nationalist group that set off 120 bombs in the United States mostly in New York City and Chicago, convicted for conspiracies to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as for firearms and explosives violations.[3] None of the 16 were convicted of bombings or any crime which injured another person, though they were sentenced with terms ranging from 35 to 105 years in prison for the conviction of conspiracy and sedition. Congress, however, recognizes that the FALN is responsible for '6 deaths and the permanent maiming of dozens of others, including law enforcement officials.' All of the 16 had served 19 years or longer in prison, which was a longer sentence than such crimes typically received, according to the White House.[citation needed] Clinton offered clemency, on condition that the prisoners renounce violence, at the appeal of 10 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, President Jimmy Carter, the cardinal of New York, and the archbishop of Puerto Rico. The commutation was opposed by U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons and criticized by many including former victims of FALN terrorist activities, the Fraternal Order of Police,[4] members of Congress, and Hillary Clinton in her campaign for Senator.[5] Congress condemned the action, with a vote of 95-2 in the Senate and 311-41 in the House.[6][7] The U.S. House Committee on Government Reform held an investigation on the matter, but the Justice Department prevented FBI officials from testifying.[8] President Clinton cited executive privilege for his refusal to turn over some documents to Congress related to his decision to offer clemency to members of the FALN terrorist group.
Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory pardons
In March 2000, Bill Clinton pardoned Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory, owners of the carnival company United Shows International, for charges of bank fraud from a 1982 conviction (the couple were already out of jail, but the prior conviction prevented them from doing business transactions in certain states). First Lady Hillary Clinton's youngest brother, Tony Rodham, was an acquaintance of the Gregorys, and had lobbied Clinton on their behalf.[9] In October 2006, the group Judicial Watch filed a request with the U.S. Justice Department for an investigation, alleging that Rodham had received $107,000 from the Gregorys for the pardons, in the form of loans that were never repaid, as part of a quid pro quo scheme.[10]
All politicians seem to be crooked and favor their own, but they aren't all stupid! On top of everything else, that makes it even worse!
...eh Tonny? One thing for certain, Fox and the libnazis never had a thing to do with these!
Do you think all of those that Clinton pardoned were big donors or extortionists?
To those of you who try to justify what Bush did by citing other wrongs done by Clinton (or anyone) ... take a good look at what you're doing.
You're trying to say that a wrong done by Bush yesterday (one of many during his tenure as president) is 'somehow' ok by showing a list of wrongs done by Clinton many years ago.
If it was wrong then, it's still wrong today ... regardless of party.
Why are you so anxious to justify a wrong doing of any kind?
I can remind you of the Clinton wrongs, as if we had that much time, but let me ask where was the predatory prosecution for all of those wrongs?
We have a double standard in America. When Janet 'Buck' Reno was the AG, no one was calling for her head, whether she was firing the help, killing innocents in Waco, or arranging a gateway for Dan Rostenkowski to skate on. She ignored Sandy Berg(L)ars Oil-for-money influence scheme, the chinese and russian campaign funds, Clintons commodity trades, the FBI records scandal, and the rest.
Now, we have an AG who is actually pursuing both republican and democratic lawmakers and the liberals want to flush him. What other conclusion are we to come to?
The same system that convicted Libby let him walk. Where's Susan Saranden crying for his release? She'll cry for Tookie, but not a Conservative lawyer.
Better take a look at the 'wrongs' and then ask yourself the question again. The flower generation is doing a pretty crappy job of right and wrong.
Wrongs?...I think pardons are a important part of our Political system here in the USA. The only difference is pardons by Clinton were ok with the news media. and liberal sheep, fake USA haters, and now Bush does one and it is a big deal....Not
Predatory prosecution eh? ... I'll remind you that Fitzpatrick is a Republican ... and the judges on the Appeals Court were Republican appointees.
Predatory prosecution? ... Bull!!!
That's your biased opinion and is simply unfounded. If you have proof for your accusation, then prove it to us ... If not, then you're just repeating false statements, and whining like a little baby, yet again.
re: The same system that convicted Libby let him walk.
No. Bush let him walk ... no one else did that.
BTW, The people who found him guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice have already made public statements condeming Bush's action as undermining the rule of law.
Remember 'rule of law'? And all your previous rants about the need for it? Or, have you abandoned your position on that?
SP4 do you realize that everytime you whine and moan about the wrongs Clinton did, you actually undermine your arguments in support of Bush's actions?
If Clinton's actions were so terrible (and I'm certainly not justifying them or saying they were ok), that you have to keep bring them up years later (you've mentioned them in about a bazillion posts), then the same applies to the wrongs done by Bush today. THEY ARE STILL WRONG! Will you be bitching about those for years to come too? ... Yeah, I thought so.
Unless you believe in a double standard, SP4 ... quit justifying Bush's wrongs by reminding us of Clinton's wrongs.
If you consider Clinton's actions so horrendous that you keep blathering about them so many years later ... then they in no way justify Bush's actions either.
with that 100% and also agree with the poster who said that politians are probably all crooked, but they aren't all stupid, and I presume they were talking about the present President. The things he does somehow do seem more stupid.
Typical response from our neo-con posters. It is ok for them to wrong, and justify it with a wrong from the other side. If you believe in the court system, which makes the US a democracy (partly), then you cannot agree with the President when he shows his contempt for the democracy that gave him power.
It is impossible to justify one wrong with another!
Don't try to impress me with your morality. I watched the libnazis storm Waco, for one bullshit gun charge, and kill 80 people. Which person do we see about that?
The same system that convicted him let him go. So be it. As for Fitzgerald, go see who Libby got pardoned (Rich) and the prosecutor he undermined to do it (Fitzgerald) then add two and two..
You want reform, go see Ol Albeerto. He's prosecuting dems and neocons alike. Why do you think they are so keen on getting rid of him?
The point was, and still is, the double standard from the left. Kennedy gets drunk and crashes his car and he's couragous for going into rehab. You benefit from a liberal press. In time, that may change.
As for Libby: Bravo! He's entitled to some relief. I hope he gets a pardon and rubs it in Fitzgeralds face.
The best thing country has going for it any longer is the 'right to bear arms'.
link to the following or just copy and paste for a short history lesson. once there click on the special comment widow which contains a photo of the President.

SP4 ... when the facts don't say what you want them to say, you make up your own ...
and yes, that makes you wrong.

He and his kind make a habit of that. In forums other than these as well. Best to just ignore as gibberish never adds anything to intelligent dialogue.
I am very hopefull that the era of neocon ideology will end soon.It would be the best for american future .I realise a lot of intelligent people are waking up to the facts;modern healthcare,the end of pre-emptive strikes ,an insight of the terrible catastrophic consequences of failing to curb global warming for all the inhabitants of this lovely planet .My gratitute goes to all the americans currently engaged in the struggle for real democracy and social justice .I guess they will help win the next elections to a moderate candidate and end this awfull years of 'divine inspiration' which cost the american population so much wasted money,lives and ressources that could have been put to a more usefull alternative in catering for the needs of it's own population,like the victims of Katryna,still awaiting reconstruction .
Nobody takes this buffoon(keith olbermann) serious, Give me a break. Why did Clinton pardon those terrorists?...Scooter Libby was Marc Richh's Attorney? And finally Tonni is not from Belgium...
president bush.
the savior of crooks .so he doesn't get wrapped up in a impeachment.
again chaney pulls the strings.impeach bush then we have chaney the lesser of two evils. but you know if there was a 3rd term the people would vote bush and chaney right back in again...
Dear Re:,
Please try to listen to the commentary, maybe with your eyes closed so you can better keep your focus. These days, in this country, its very difficult not to be distracted by all the misinformation, I remember when the KGB where good at that, and the Nazi propaganda machine, oh well misdirection is an old tried and true, technique, (even works great in NFL). You just used it, (poorly I might add), by labeling Keith Olbermann a buffoon. Care to try again?
The following is the copy and paste address which lands you on the page where you can listen, watch, or read the transcript: www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19588942/
There's even a quote from John Wayne.
One more thing, I found the following very disturbing but not surprising. It suggests that misdirection can still be a game changer, maybe even squeak out a win.
From Chris Matthews of Hardball: “The 25 to 30 percent of the country who believe in the president’s performance are largely conservatives, and they believe in the war. It’s frightening that 40 percent still think that Iraq attacked us on 9/11. Twenty percent of the country still believes there were weapons of mass destruction discovered by our military forces when they went into Iraq.'
'The misinformation in this country remains after all these years -- because of the propaganda before we went to war. The results are still in effect. We’re still under a misunderstanding of the nature of why we went to war. That’s the tragedy here.”
Oops did I forget to say, don't forget to stock up on ammo.
Nobody with a brain watches PMSNBC...Worst most biased channel of all, total assclowns except Tucker...Good try though
today is burn a flag in to honor bush day
This proves to the entire world that George Bush IS the worst President of the USA, since records began. I can't believe that things can get any worse?....
So now the man who claims that 'God' talks to him now thinks he is greater than Justice and the power of the Law .
You've got BIG problems .

Facts are stubborn things.
Armitige outed Plame, not Libby.
Libby was convicted by a lawyer who, stated, on the record that he did not report to the AG. The spec prosecutor law had lapsed. The assignment clause either means something, or it means nothing.
Bush, by law, can commute a sentence, end of story. Why not Libby? Look at the last guys work.
Rant on, children.
Then again Tonny, those sweet sentiments just melt away when the enemy plants car bombs in London.
William - live on with your delusions, but the truth is -
'04 July 2007
If you want to see the dozens of small ways a Labour government is better than A few years ago, the news that the UK was facing an imminent attack from Islamist terrorists bent on taking hundreds of lives would have put the entire country on edge. People would have changed their habits, avoiding public transport and walking to work, while the presence of armed police at British airports would have increased the general sense of jitters. As recently as two years ago, after the 7/7 bombings, I had friends who avoided crowded places, worked from home and spent a fortune on minicabs so they did not have to use the London underground.
Since the end of last week, when two car bombs were discovered and defused in Central London, life in the capital has continued pretty much as usual. At midnight on Friday, I travelled across London on a Piccadilly line train and was struck by the fact that it was as crowded as ever, in spite of the failed attempt to bomb a nightclub in the West End less than 24 hours earlier; rumours of a second failed attack were already circulating, but none of the revellers returning home seemed too worried. The next day a Gay Pride march went ahead in London, despite the fact that Islamic extremists loathe homosexual people as much as they do 'slags' who go to nightclubs.
An obvious explanation for this stoical response is that both the London attacks were thwarted, which means that we were not confronted (as we were in 2005) with horrific images of injured civilians and tangled wreckage. All that changed with the terrorist attack on Glasgow airport, the third on the British mainland in 36 hours, when TV channels and newspapers carried dramatic pictures of a blazing Jeep and holidaymakers running for cover. Earlier this week, newspapers published photographs of a badly-burned man being arrested and taken to hospital, where he was said to be suffering 90 per cent burns; even though he was a suspect, the images were a dreadful reminder of the horrors terrorism can inflict. The swift response of the police, who have made arrests up and down the country, has not reduced the official threat level from 'critical' and it is not clear yet how many suspects are still at large.
Of course we have been here before, those of us old enough to remember the IRA's terror campaigns in Northern Ireland and the mainland in the last century. I have a clear recollection of the night of the Birmingham bombings in 1974, when Irish terrorists planted devices in two crowded pubs in the city centre, killing 21 people and injuring 182; in a campaign that went on until the 1990s, pubs, law courts and barracks were targeted by Provisonal IRA cells operating in English towns and cities. In West London, rival factions of the IRA spent more than half a century trying unsuccessfully to destroy Hammersmith bridge since 1939, their most recent attempt taking place only seven years ago.
But there are significant differences between Republican terrorism and its Islamist counterpart, one of them being that while Irish bomb-makers sometimes blew themselves up by mistake, they were not nihilistic enough to resort to suicide-bombing. Their practice of phoning warnings ahead of attacks has even led some commentators to write nostalgically about the IRA, as though the scenes of carnage in The Mulberry Bush and The Tavern in the Town 33 years ago never happened. I don't feel comfortable with that kind of revisionism; I'm not sure there is a meaningful distinction between the IRA's ambition to recreate the conditions of war-torn Belfast in mainland city centres and last weekend's attempt to make parts of London and Glasgow resemble Baghdad.
The problem for terrorists of whatever origin is that human beings are much more resilient than most of us realise. Immediately after the hugely spectacular attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York, there was a widespread feeling that nothing would ever be the same again. As the awesome scale of the destruction became apparent, it was hard for a time to think about anything else; I recall a poet of my acquaintance remarking on the impossibility of writing about such events, as though to do so would be a desecration of the dead. Six years on, there have been documentaries and movies about 9/11 - notably United 93, which recreated the flight of the plane which crashed near Philadelphia after passengers took on the hi-jackers - and novels such as Don De Lillo's Falling Man.
The need to make sense of horrific events is a profoundly human impulse, an essential part of finding a way to live beyond them. And that is what people do after the initial shock of a terrorist attack, when the national conversation about the plight of the victims and the risk of further bombings begins to subside. In 2001, Islamist attacks were still a novelty in the US and the UK though not in France, which was one of the first European countries to recognise the threat posed by political Islam. Now we are growing used not just to the existence of an Islamist terror network in Britain, consisting both of young men who were born here and others from Pakistan and the Middle East, but of the inchoate rage which fuels it.
In that sense, the events of recent days may well prove to be a turning point. Opposition to the war in Iraq has led many people in this country to sympathise with the grievances of radicalised Muslims, even after the 7/7 bombings, but it is hard to see that situation continuing much longer; it now looks as though al Qaeda sympathisers have begun recruiting doctors, who are trained to heal the sick, to kill and maim young people in nightclubs and families setting off on holiday. It is becoming harder to resist the evidence that political Islam hates not just British foreign policy but our way of life, which is why it targets places where people gather to enjoy themselves, women have the freedom to dance and drink, and gay couples might stroll past after a night out. The Islamists did it in Bali five years ago, bombing clubs full of European and Australian tourists, and they almost succeeded in doing it in London last week.
Ten years ago, Tony Blair came to power with a belief that his government would be able to cut a political deal with Republicans and Loyalists in Northern Ireland; protracted negotiations resulted in the Good Friday agreement, and the laying down of guns and bombs. That option does not exist with Islamic extremists, who want not just the withdrawl of British troops from Iraq but a whole raft of things - segregation of the sexes, sharia law, an end to secular culture - which we cannot negotiate away in the name of security. In recent days, watching people go about their business good-naturedly in London despite the threat of terrorist attacks, I have a sense that the public understands this. We have to stand up for our values, and that means that this time we are in for the long haul.'
Well said ,Ann .Soon enough those jihadists who hate western values will discover that they are unable to change the mindfram of the population in Europe .The efforts will be vain.
But back to the topic .Of course Libby did not leak information to the press.Nobody ever said that .But the pardon of Libby is the keystone to sealing off a conspiracy of neocon politicians who dragged the USA in a war based on false arguments .When Plane's husband hear of false evidence doctored by the White House and the Pentagon to demonstrate that Saddam was buying yellow cake in Niger for the production of atomic bombs ,he pointed out that this information was false .One would expect that any honest politician would be deeply gratefull for having discovered that the evidence to launch a so called preemptive ware against another country .Not so in the White House .Bush,Rumfeld,Rove and the rest of the neocons allready knew that .They forged all the so called evidence .So they were outraged that their forgery was discovered and thus the messenger had to be hung ,just as in the fairy tale .An orchestrated leak to the press was the only way these fine gentlemen could think of .
How funny that in a country that declares itself at war the cencles of power sabotage their own secret service .One would expect that in such warlike situation this would be some kind of treason ,wouldn't it ?
It seems to me that the White House does not take this war very serious .
So the White House croonies leaked the information to the conservative press.Libby succesfully fenced off the following investigation and Bush pardonned him when for doing so .THe circle is closed now ,but only neocons find some justicve in that .Luckily they will march of to the garbage dumps of history after the next elections .Even corporate bizness is not willing to place any bets on those morons .Republican candidates are having a hard time to finance their campaigns nowadays ,look ar Mc Cains financial problems .
It used to be different .
george w. bush is our president.
he is also the worlds biggest liar and biggest bag of puke
re: your comment 'Libby was convicted by a lawyer ... '
No ... he was convicted by a Jury.
Again you fail to grasp the most basic points.
And yes, you're wrong.
you guys should be thankful we have a man like bush
who cares for our welfare and protects us from harm.
he is the greatest leader ever ..ah duh i must have fell on my head again..
now let me ask you this...
if scooter would have went to prison who would have given chaney sex?
