Well that's par for the course, it seems as though you never back up anything you say. If you are what you say you are, then in my opinion you are an idiot for revealing it, because what posters see is a person (you) who is unquestionable, one never knows whether you are stating fact or an opinion

I have attempted to steer the discussion away from pitfalls of which I'm aware. I am limited in what I may say. That's the best I can do. I'm willing to face the predictable frustration in order to provide the service.:cool:

And FYI, I'm "revealing" nothing. My cover was rolled back and my resume cleared for public use when I retired.:cool:

You offer the debate nothing but obfuscation. Which is apparently your goal since a person who was truly in the position you pretend to be, wouldn't even bother to talk; with nothing to talk about other than to say, they can't talk. :roll:

You are obviously free to conclude as you will. I don't post anything that isn't true, but there are true things that I may not post. Were you not so certain (and closed-minded) you might have followed the hints. Your negativity is not a complete surprise, but I thought I would give it a try. Results are mixed at best.:cool:

When I said "reveal" I meant to other DP members.

I'm curious, do you know the circumstance that caused Patrick Fitzgerald to get involved in the Valerie Plame case?

I suppose it's possible you may fool some, but you're a fraud like the fraudulant documents you revealed you know nothing about. No one goes to a chat room just to say, they can't chat. It defies all logic and common sense. It would be like buying a book and then claiming you're not allowed to read it.

For what?

I waiting for your explanation as to why a special prosecutor was put on the Valerie Plame case. The is a specific reason, and I want you tell what that was.

As I noted earlier, I'm quite familiar with the fraudulent docs. They played no role in the SOTU prep, and were easily seen to be forgeries once examined.

To determine whether there was criminal culpability in her "outing."

The actual war has been over for years now, and the "nation building" project under way. The former was quite successful, as Saddam Hussain was toppled rather quickly. It's the latter that has been a disaster.

It hasn't even been 2 years yet.

Well yeah, but a special prosecutor normally wouldn't have been put on the case. It's something obviously Scooter Libby did.

You're posting an article from someone who was not there. Here is someone who was ... one more time, Hans Blix (who was actually there)...

"The inspections have taken place throughout Iraq, at industrial sites, ammunition depots, research centers, universities, presidential sites, mobile laboratories, private houses, missile-production facilities, military camps and agricultural sites." ~ Hans Blix

Seems they got in to where ever they wanted, including presidential sites.

Are you aware that Saddam profited some 18 billion dollars from the oil for food program, which was part of sanctions. Yup, he let his people starve to death and die and ignored the UN and every one else. This is the man you are defending.

And do you HONESTLY think Saddam was cooperative with those inspections? That is incredibly naive. I can't even believe it. :roll:

The world is a MUCH better place without him.

You ignore this war was totally due to a mistake on the part of Dick and Bush. There was no WMD, or link to the terrorists that attacked on 9/11. We rained hell down on their country unnecessarily, any you just say this is "totally normal!"


You have a lot different idea of what is totally normal than most people.

Okay, so what do you want to do about it?

Hmm. I wonder why no one ever talks about Libya and their "civil war" and how that country has also become quite destabilized.

You do know it was nothing compared to the money he made from us allowing him to smuggle oil. We weren't concerned about him making money.

It was the fact that he allowed his own people to die. That's the point. The money is secondary.

In fact that was the reason. Like most of our enemies, GT.W. Bush scared them.

I like that, "Daffy Qadaffi."

Qaddafi was so scared of G.W. Bush that he contacted the Americans and told them he was going to destroy his chemical weapons and dismantle his R&D for developing nukes and wanted to join as an ally with America on fighting Al Qaeda.

That it was Qaddafi's intelligence service that took over enhanced interrogation of captured Al Qaeda for the CIA after the liberals got their panties all wadded up that we used loud rock music, sleep deprivation and standing in a corner for hours butt naked of terrorist who were responsible for killing 3,000 Americans. That the liberals wanted captured Al Qaeda members to be treated better than what a Marine Corps recruit experienced during boot camp.

Today the only people scared of Barack Obama are our allies wondering if they are next to be thrown under the bus.

Sure. And then we added to the number, faster.

Are you aware that a lot of those numbers include insurgent attacks? The number of "Iraqis killed" isn't just from our side you know.
