White House mistakenly identifies CIA chief in Afghanistan

Powell opposed G.H. Bush's policies.

But Gen. Powell was a good yes man was he not ?

Whether Powell approved or didn't approve of Bush's policies doesn't change the fact that Bush hired him. He was one of Bush's people and Bush is ultimately responsible for everything that the man did or didn't do during the time that he was working for Bush.

That's the way that it works.

That's a serious question? LMMFAO

I would presume so.

Of course it's a serious question. You said others were victimized by the outing of Plame. Can you name them? How about even one of them?

So if the man is in danger, then it's a serious problem, mistake or otherwise. Who in the Obama administration is going to pay the price for placing a man in danger?

Probably the WH press agency members responsible for creating the list.....and anyone who was supposed to review it.

But I'm still waiting for a sign that you understand the difference between deliberate and accident.

LOL!!! No! YOU WANTED TO GO THERE!

LOL!

Um, yeah.....deeeeeer.

Your feigned outrage is really, totally undercut....by the fact that "us people" are not calling for this to be ignored.

What will you do now?

I'm not really "outraged" but I think someone should be held responsible.

But I'm not going to hold my breath.

No one has been held accountable under Obama's leadership.

Not Ansar al Sharia, ( Benghazi ) Not the " rogue agents in Cincinnati " not the people who pushed automatic weapons into the hands of the drug cartel.

People make mistakes all the time.

Usually there are consequences.

There won't be this time.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Here is what I wrote: ...everyone involved with that company were also exposed..

I understand, you have nothing, and when you do, you always, always, go off on tangents

Good luck with that.

They were exposed to what exactly? Did a single one of their names ever come out? No, they didn't, which is why neither I nor you can name one of them. In other words, it's irrelevant, and you know it.

You have no idea if anyone will be held responsible for putting this man's life in danger. Shockingly, neither do any of us. But someone should be held responsible, shouldn't they...?

Ah yes, I forgot the fact that people like you don't have the same standards for Obama, that you hold "every other president" to.

If it is shown that this was a deliberate act by the VP's office to out a CIA employee, then the VP should be forced out.

Ah, so short of the exact scenerio you think happened with Plame, then all's good with you eh? No responsibility need be taken by anyone because it isn't the exact BS scenerio you condemned with the previous administration....What a crock.

Their names did not come out, because no one exposed them......see how that works?

Weird, all of the assumptions that no one will.

Bets are on, any takers....horse racer?

There has never been this odd fixation on treating every campagin speech that the president makes as some sort of unbreakable promise.

So you think someone's going to be held accountable over this ?

Just asking.
