Political Quotes

“sadly, 2,000 American troops have now died in Iraq due to a war based on fabrications of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Two years have passed since the Bush White House breached national security by leaking a covert CIA agent's name to reporters to smear a former ambassador who questioned their misleading case for war. Why has President Bush not acted on this reprehensible act? Anyone who follows the news now knows that the White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove is implicated in leaking Valerie Plame's identity to Time reporter Matthew Cooper. We also know that it was the Vice President's Chief of Staff, Scooter Libby, at the heart of charges leaking Plame's identity to New York Times reporter Judith Miller. Two years ago the White House press secretary told reporters, ``If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration.'' But that was before it was clear that Karl Rove was indeed involved. President Bush now says staffers will only be fired if they committed a crime. Talk about lowering the bar. The Bush administration was right at first when it said that anyone involved in this serious breach of our national security would be handed their walking papers. The stonewalling and the coverup of the White House must finally come to an end. Our country must do better. The world is watching. ____________________”
