it's not about the iraq war lie -- it's about sheer and utter incompetence

[unblock]

even if some conservative numnuts actually thinks it was an appropriate use of governmental power to destroy a woman's career simply because her husband said something they didn't like ....

you still have to stand in utter awe and disgust at the COLOSSAL and MONUMENTAL incompetence in somehow coming to the conclusion that it was appropriate -- as part of an effort to fight the war on terror, no less -- to destroy an invaluable network of undercover agents and a cia front company attempting to monitor and track nuclear threats potentially in the hands of terrorists.

these people simply CANNOT be trusted with out national security. they are so incompentently blinded by their lust for vengeance in matters of partisan politics that they actively sabotaged our defenses for political gain.

THROW THE BUMS OUT!!

1. They are working as recruiters for Al Qaida... and they are doing

"a heck of a job".

[ClassWarrior]

2. No, they're perfectly competent...

Perfectly competent criminals.

It's a culture of corruption.

3. It is about the WAR, about the COVER-UP, about the INCOMPETENCE

These Dipshits along with the BUSHGOD Chimpy McCLueless need their skulls whacked up the side of the head with a baseball bat.

Sorry but I feel better now.

4. Think 'motivation' for the cover up!!===- this IS about the war.

[leesa]

5. It's about treason.

6. It is about the war, alright.

The rest is just politics. I am tired of politics, and I am tired of losing. And so are most Americans. Yes, throw the bums out. But, it is about the war here. And about what could happen if we are not wise.

7. I think it's about both, actually

Hard to untangle them. But you're right, this all couldn't have happened without the massive incompetence.

8. in actuality, of course it's about both. and more. BUT .....

yes, it's about the war, and the lies, and the abuse of power, and the cover-up, and the mafia mentality, and the fascism, etc.

but my point is that most of those arguments can easily be spun into partisanship, but the incompetence issue is pretty cut and dried, laid bare before all.

how on earth can you justify destroying our own intelligence network? how the hell can the banana republicans possibly spin THAT one to their advantage??

this is the issue that we can really win on, this is the issue that they have no good answer for, this is the issue that can serve us well for a generation. national security has been, aside from tax cuts, the only issue the public sees the banana republicans as better than democrats at. if we can undermine this -- and this colossal blunder has got to give us enough ammo -- then we've gone a long way towards doing some SERIOUS LONG-TERM damage to the banana republicans.

9. Unless of course they profited from making it happen.

In which case they're perfectly competent. And evil.

10. they needed more than those stupid aluminum tubes

(similar to the ones i keep my fly rods in) and that pathethrtic weather balloon truck and wilson took this yellowcake myth away from them, as thin as the reed was to begin with. you bet it's about the war!

[hootinholler]

11. Shouldn't really be about the Treason?

The administration defrauded the Congress with Forged documents in order to start a war of agression during which People were tortured to death whilst denied due process and our Treasury's line of credit was plundered.

Quacks like a duck...
