If Bush and Cheney are so worried about the possibility of Iran

[hedgehog]

having nuclear weapons, why did they out Valerie Plame? Her covert mission was to prevent the smuggling of the equipment needed to build such weapons and to track any loose nukes from the old Soviet Union. Of course, the fact that her group nabbed Halliburton more than once may have had something to do with it......

1. BushandCheney hope that you've forgotten about Valerie Plame!

2. Wow - what a good point! nt

3. It's not about Nukes

Iranian nukes is the scary story to dupe the masses again. It didn't matter what Plame was into: it was important to find a way to shut down Joe Wilson's anti-NeoCon stories. Stopping the war would stop all BushCo's fun, the flow of mega-funds to cronies and weaken their strangle hold on America. Their attempt to intimidate Wilson through Plame has brought no repercussions upon BushCo and the war continues. Plus Iran having nukes (they don't) is the next great thing after Saddam's WMDs bio weapons.

9. Yup, they think we are like that idiot guard in The Longest Yard

who gets hit in the nuts with the football and lines back up to do it all over again. The administration figures it worked once, it'll probably work again.

4. I believe its loyalty over nukes!

It is far more important to spread the word about the danger of another country; so that the leaders and the leaders buddies can fatten their bank accounts, then to worry about exposing a covert CIA agent!

6. Wasn't Halliburton selling stuff to Iran until just a year ago? illegally?
