Attack Mode -- DefCon Four

So there it was.

Yesterday, New York Senator Chuck Schumer held a press conference with his fellow partisan leftist Joe Wilson, husband of Valerie Plame. First off, it's important to understand the politics of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Wilson is not a principled husband upset that his wife's cover as a CIA agent was blown.

Joe Wilson is a Bush-bashing partisan Democrat who is determined to sell as many copies of his book as possible and try and embarrass the Bush administration.

Now that we have that out of the way, let's examine what this slug said yesterday when he slithered out from underneath his rock:

Wilson says that since George Bush said last year he would fire anyone who leaked Plame's name, he thinks that means Rove should be fired.

Well , . . Let's look at the facts. There's a bit of a problem here. Bush said that he would "handle" anyone who "broke the law." Rove broke no law. He's not even the target of any criminal investigation. And just in case Wilson or his cronies want to claim that Rove lied a year ago when he said that he wasn't the source of any leak; what Rove said was that he did not name Valerie Plame.

He's right, he didn't. This all comes back to the war in Iraq. After his wife sent him to Africa to investigate the Saddam uranium claims, Wilson lied about who sent him, Wilson wrote a hit piece on the administration in the New York Times. This is all about Wilson's politics. These lies have been thoroughly debunked, and stand of their own accord, against investigations by Congress and others, who have discredited nearly all of Wilson's statements.

We still don't know where any of this leads. Keep an eye on that New York Times reporter who is protecting her source. A source we probably don't know, as I've already pointed out.

The special prosecutor says Rove isn't the target.

Who is?

We don't know, and neither does the anyone in the media. When the special prosecutor finishes his work, we will know, . . . and THAT'S the way it's supposed to work!
