White House mistakenly identifies CIA chief in Afghanistan

I am sure she was in harm's way going to work at the CIA daily. Again, if you believe what you believe why don't you condemn what the Obama Administration did in Afghanistan? Why is it that when anything happens in the Obama Administration you resort to finding something similar in the Bush Administration as if that justifies the action now?
Jesus H. Christ Conservative it was a ****ing mistake. Sure it was wrong, but it was done in error .
 
If the South 'thinks' that it wants a rematch, I'm one of the Yankees who will be happy to give them a second chance to get their butts kicked.

And destroy the only States that are growing economically ?

Can you imagine Obama's economic numbers minus Texas ?

Wow
 
there will always be terrorists, and not just in Afghanistan. it's time to rebuild our own country.

Isolationism doesn't work...pickup a history book.

There is a lot of so called "honest" mistakes happening in this Administration. when is enough enough?
 

Valerie Plame, ex-intelligence officials slam White House for 'astonishing' CIA leak



"It looks like a rookie mistake, but it's in year six of the administration," retired Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden and former CIA director
told Newsmax, after Obama’s press team inadvertently listed the spy on Obama’s itinerary for his four hour trip to Afghanistan on Sunday.



Valerie Plame, the ex-CIA operative outed by the W. Bush administration, also chimed in.

“Astonishing: White House mistakenly identifies CIA chief in Afghanistan,” she tweeted in a sardonic message on Monday.

i'm not arguing for complete isolationism. we just need to devote most of our resources to fixing our own country for a while. we've been in Afghanistan for too long.

And? Are you confused by her reaction?
 
Meaning that the embarassment was that he couldn't have gotten the job without his wife's input?
I know where you're going with your line of questioning. Valerie was asked by her superiors to send them email Joe's qualifications. This was spun by the Right as her recommending him, it's BS. They asked her, it wasn't the other way around.

Where I'm going is asking you to clarify the "embarrassment". It wouldn't embarrass Wilson if his wife helped him land the gig. It would embarrass him if it came out that his wife cheated on him, was a hooker on the side, got busted selling crack to teeangers, etc.

I know about her input on his appointment. Nothing embarrassing about it. Is that why you think Armitage gave her name to Novak, because he though that would "embarrass" him?
 
Did I say it wasn't?

No but you seem very cavalier about it because it was just a mistake.

If there is truth to the howling we heard when Plame's name was outed, that her life was in jeopardy and so on, wouldn't that be the case with this guy, times like 100,000? Does the left fear for this guy's life the way they did Plame's life?

Already answered: Outing Plame, destroying her career, was done to damage, embarrass, Wilson.
 
One of the few states that the GOP might hang on to after it is reduced to a minor, regional party in about thirty years is Idaho.

Based on what ?

Obama and the Liberal democrats enormous "Success" both on a Federal and State level ?

I mean really, what the big takeover going to be motivated by ?

What, exactly, did the CIA station Chief in Afghan do to the admin that would cause them to out him?

Anyone?
 
Already answered: Outing Plame, destroying her career, was done to damage, embarrass, Wilson.

What if it was sheer incompetence that caused Plame to be outed ?

Would the Democrats have understood ? Given the GOP a pass ?

And generally people are held responsible for their mistakes unless they work for the Obama administration.

Snd this one appears to be a huge mistake.

Do you know the difference between mistake and on purpose?
 
i'm not arguing for complete isolationism. we just need to devote most of our resources to fixing our own country for a while. we've been in Afghanistan for too long.

If the government would get it's boot off the private sector's neck, we could accomplish that. Afghanistan isn't slowing that process.

But it wasn't, you had Rove telling Cooper, Libby telling Miller and Armitage telling Novak. No one believes Armitage's mea culpa.....the memo was stamped SECRET all over.

Would the Democrats have understood ? Given the GOP a pass ?
Um, this was an administrative leak from multiple sources.

And generally people are held responsible for their mistakes unless they work for the Obama administration.
Seriously, you think there was some ultimate responsibility held in the Plame outing?

Snd this one appears to be a huge mistake.
Uh....whu?
 
Do you know the difference between mistake and on purpose?

Of course I do. I would assume most people posting on here do. Most drunk drivers don't get behind the wheel of a car with the intent to kill others. But let's say they kill some innocent person while driving drunk. So their actions should just be chalked up to a mistake, and everyone should move on?

We heard repeatedly what danger Plame was in after the "outing". Is this man not in more and more serious danger given his job versus what she did?

Or in this case, was the "outing" of Plame not really the important, life threatening issue the left made it out to be, now that the Obama administration stupidly did the same thing?

Do a little research and find out.

Why should I do all of your work for you?
