White House mistakenly identifies CIA chief in Afghanistan

Well, I would have to say that Obama doesn't say anything without having it written for him, I mean after all we have seen the disaster when he tries to go off prompter....So, in that case let's start with the dumbass that wrote the name into the speech that Obama gave should really be let go..
Um...it wasn't in a speech.

FFS.
 
She was working at headquarters, as an analyst, because her covert status had been revoked; not to mention the Vanity Fair article that caused Bob Novack to ask Richard Armitage, "does Joe Wilson's wife work at CIA?" Armitage said, "yes", because it was no longer a secret that she worked at CIA. SECSTATE isn't privy to the identities of covert agents, the deputy SECSTATE sure as hell doesn't have that information.

Plame, outted Plame.
Um, Armitage was wrong.

Legal documents published in the course of the CIA leak grand jury investigation, United States v. Libby, and Congressional investigations, establish her classified employment as a covert officer for the CIA at the time when Novak's column was published in July 2003.[35][36][37]

I'm still waiting for your citation from the CIA stating she was not covert when Novack published what Scooter leaked under instruction from Dick.

How was Armitage wrong? He knew she worked for CIA.

I just posted reference from CIA documentation showing she was covert at the time.

Let me help you ought, Armitage's mea culpa was that his leak was an "accident":


Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage said yesterday that he believes he was the initial source for a 2003 newspaper column by Robert D. Novak that disclosed the CIA's previously secret employment of Valerie Plame, the wife of a prominent critic of the U.S. war in Iraq.

Armitage said that he learned about Plame's employment from a State Department memo that did not mention her covert status, and that he had no knowledge of it at the time. In 40 years of reading classified materials, Armitage said in a telephone interview, "I have never seen in a memo . . . a covert agent's name."

What was Armitage wrong about?
 
I think my IQ dropped about 25 points reading this thread. The partisan hacks in this thread... you guys have completely lost touch with reality. You are so utterly brainwashed by right-wing media you are living in a fantasy world.
 
Quite right...My bad...It was a list...Did someone compile that list? Are they employed by the administration?

FFS yourself.
You still won't read and find out for yourself.

FFS!
 
Read the rest of what I posted, COMPARED TO OBAMA and the results support me




I read what you posted before I responded.

Compared to Bush, Obama looks like Einstein to me.

You see, it all depends on who's making the comparison. :lamo

Now that is funny coming from a "progressive"....:lamo
 
If she was operating in a covert status, he would never have known she worked at CIA. Do you understand, "need to know"?
LOL....then you do understand that his mea culpa was total BS.

Cheney wanted to damage Wilson, he did so by having Scooter and Armitage destroy Plame's career.

That's incorrect, Plame was transitioning from her status as a covert agent to an analyst at Langley. The reason Bob Novack knew she worked for the CIA was because Scooter Libby and Richard Armitage told him so. It wasn't because of the Vanity Fair article.

This administrations incompetence renews and overachieves on a daily basis. Glad to see you support that.

Right wing media? Why is it every time that any issue is raised about Obama that the liberals/progressives in this forum resort to attacks on Bush and pointing out that Bush was reported to have done the same thing as Obama? If you truly disliked Bush that much and was against everything he did then why are you supporting Obama reportedly doing the same thing?

Yep, cuz we all know a generic label next to somebody's name is the definitive measure of that person.

Really? So, why was Armitage NEVER questioned during the investigation?
 
Japan was undefeated, until 1945.

that's nice. meanwhile, Afghanistan has been a precipitating event in the decline of many empires. if our presidents would pick up a ****ing history book, they would know that.

it's time to get everyone out of there.

Straw man, the white house really screwed up and they need to "fix" the person(s) who did this. The mostly unrelated commentary in this thread is the real problem of this forum, completely unhinged.
 
Link?


There have been no real talks in a long time.....since the election I believe.....it is a major issue here and leads the news as Canada has a large "Peacekeeping" role there now. And with the heavy casualties, heaviest per capita in the war, we took, there is great sensitivity here.
The concern is that the US will do what it always does and leave with the job half done.

But, please indicate anything more than speculation that Obama was even trying for a meeting, it looks like pure self promotion from here.




If Canada wants to keep its troops in Afghanistan from now until the end of time no one in the USA will insist that they bring them home.

If you Canucks want to stay there forever, get after it.

Have a nice day.
