Pardon Me, Mr. President!
Libby’s Difficult Defense
Hours after I. Lewis Libby resigned from the White House last October, federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald broke the seal on an indictment charging him with five felonies.
Now, as the pre-trial jousting in Mr. Libby’s case picks up momentum, the onetime loyal West Wing confidant—Dick Cheney’s Dick Cheney—will have to choose between protecting himself and protecting the White House. Specifically, insiders say, he will have to choose between a not-guilty verdict and a Presidential pardon.
“It does put him in this difficult situation of putting the administration on trial,” said a lawyer in the case. “Things are coming out that would never have come out, solely because he’s going to fight the charges.” [more]

What's the point of dragging this on? You have had plenty of time to nail these guys. What's the hold up? The longer you wait the more irreperable damage is done to this glorious country. The house is on fire and you guys are wasting time looking for the perfect extinguisher.
America wants to know.
And the answer to that million dollar question is that Cheney will protect Cheney. And that is what a true businessman does: protect his assets.. Yes, when the Gerbil and company presented the blueprint of graft, they were like the three musketeers: Gerbil, Porkrind, and Dead Eye Dick. We are not going to count the smurf Libby.. You the all for one and one for all gang.. Cheney is only concern is his business and his empire. And Cheney is surely not going to have his empire go down the tubes.. If it means to resign or turn on the Gerbil, he would do that.. Because Fitzgerald is going after key officals for indictment in the Gerbil Administration, watach each of the major platers turn in one another.. Friendship doesn't mean a thing in the Gerbil ADministration. It is money, business, and power that it is important. And if they have to turn on one another to save each other hide, they will do that.
As far as the Smurf, the Gerbil can't save him.. The dog and pony defense that he has been playing with Fitz is wearing off.. Again, the Smurf is the loser in this deal if he thinks that the Gerbil or Dead Eye Dick will save Tiny Tim Libby.. American people will see how an Administration that claim that they are loyal to one another especially in faith turn on another and expose the corruption within the Administration. Folks, the Gerbil ran 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. like a business for five years rather than a White House in which serves the American people and this country.
Just when you are starting to make the ends meet somebody moves the ends
Developing story from Raw Story:
LEAKED: DEMOCRATS READY LETTER TO BUSH
ON IRAN; LIBERALS TO HOLD 1ST UNOFFICIAL
'HEARINGS' TODAY AT 3 EST... DEVELOPING...
2. A Commentary from Lou Dobbs from CNN. Here is an excerpt:
Dobbs: Bush, Congress tell working folk to go to hell
By Lou Dobbs
CNN
"George W. Bush's approval ratings have slumped to the lowest of his presidency. The approval rating for Congress is even lower, and nearly three-quarters of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction."
"But what is our government doing about that? The president is staying the course in Iraq and apparently demanding little of his generals to create a new, far more effective strategy for urgent success. Of course, he also wants a guest-worker program and amnesty of millions of illegal aliens. And Congress, faced with midterm elections in just over five months, is intent on giving the president what he wants and telling working men and women and their families, American citizens all, to go to hell."
"And a third-world country is what we will be if our elected officials don't soon come to their senses."
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/05/23/dobbs.may24/index.html
And Dodds is right!!
Bush doesn't care about Iraq's health. He only cares about the big embassy they are building and the permanent US military bases. The US will never, never leave Iraq! Why can't you people understand the big picture, the grand scheme?
Americans are idiots and the neocons know it. They have played this country like Nero on his fiddle. We are the strong arm of Israel and I am afraid that arrangement is all sown up and has been for quite sometime.
Remember the Liberty? How come nothing ever came of that? Becasue it would make Israel look bad and that is just not going to happen.
Israel wants the US in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan, Kuwait, etc. And the neocons are giving them exactly what they want.
Prove me wrong.
Rove, Cheney, Matthews conference call:

Cool your jets please?
A jury process is just that - it's a legal process that involves a prosecutor and a grand jury. It is not a political process and it doesn't dance to the whim of the media.
The Fitzgerald Team is conducting a legal case - it doesn't have a timetable (like any court case).
And (SPB???) if I'm not wrong, sealed indictments can be used as bargaining chips.
Personally I think Libby will not roll over for Cheney and I think he will see that he's going to get tossed to the wolves and he'll squeal rather than take the fall for the Big Guy.
RE: Lou Dobbs
Where is his pod hiding? This is like Invasion of the Body Snatchers...the media just cannot decide whose side they are on.
This is great news,Libby by defending himself may end up being
your star WITNESS against the others
Take your time-so they may do time.
Keep up the good work » »
