Bush says he'll 'move on,' not discuss CIA leak

Associated Press
Originally published July 13, 2007

WASHINGTON // President Bush always said he would wait to talk about the CIA leak case until after the investigation into his administration's role. Yesterday he skipped over that step and pronounced the matter old news hardly worth discussing.
"It's run its course," he said. "Now we're going to move on."

Despite a long history of denouncing leaks, Bush declined to express any disappointment in the people who worked for him and who were involved in disclosing the name of a CIA operative. Asked about that during a wide-ranging news conference, the president gave a dodgy answer:

"It's been a tough issue for a lot of people in the White House."

He didn't even acknowledge the undisputed fact that someone working for him was the source, saying only that "perhaps somebody in the administration did disclose the name of that person."

3. "Move on" is just his way of saying he got away with it
and he knows he got away with it and there's nothing anyone can do about it...it's more like a fuck off

5. I'm Against The Death Penalty
But those two and Rove are beginning to sway me. Of course, I still say the American people who allowed this to happen are the most to blame since their plot was quite evident to anyone who paid the least bit of attention. And any talk of war should make people question whether it is truly justified or not and demands attention. Sadly, most Americans allowed this to happen and the real blame is their own.

6. The truth in your words is unavoidable and oh so tragic. How's this: Tie them
naked to the wall and throw fruit at them, or force them to watch the complete works of Carrot-Top ~ repeatedly...

11. Thinking They Deserve Both And More
And we should give evey American the right to participate if they chose. But, can I skip the naked part. Seeing either one of them naked is bound to upset my stomach, leave me bent over and ruin my aim. For that matter, we may have to cover their heads to prevent my guttural reaction from occurring.

12. Once again your perspicacity boggles my melon. The naked thing is definitely out. We
will, however, have to make them watch all their own news conferences. If that's not a fitting and painful punishment, I don't know what is.

9. "It's been a tough issue for a lot of people in the White House."
Always about him.

I bet it has been "tough", as he once promised to fire any "leakers". Prick.

14. He knew who the leakers were from the start.
Now he says that he doesn't want to know who they were. He wants Amerika to forget about the Treason.
