The Simple Truth
Through all of the upcoming episodes, remember one simple fact:0 comments
The Leaker comes from an extremely small pool of presidential advisors. These are Cabinet-level folks we're talking about here. Or someone on the top or second level of a Department or Agency, or a high-level White House staffer.
Being the CEO he constantly reminds us that he is, it is Bush's responsibility, duty and, basically his job, to call his top advisors into the Oval Office, pound the desk and say he's not going to tolerate it! Then, he'd demand the culprits leave their resignations on his desk the next morning.
That's how a man who could really fill out a flight suit would handle it. But not this White House. Not this administration. It's been over ten days since the scandal broke, and still no desk-pounding from the Oval Office.
What we do have here instead is a coverup. Plain and simple.
Instead of flushing out the perpetrator from their midst, they have encouraged tail-chasing, dissembling, character assassination and sleight of hand.
In a case like this, that qualifies for being a cover-up.
Plus, this excerpt from the Washington Post about sums up the madness:
White House press secretary Scott McClellan has ruled out involvement by Bush's senior adviser, Karl Rove; I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Cheney's chief of staff; and Elliott Abrams, Bush's senior adviser on the Middle East. "None of them were involved in the leak of the classified information, nor would any of them condone it," McClellan said.
It's good to know that the well-known investigator/prosecutor Scott McClellan is on the case, but it brings up a couple of questions.
How does he know to exonerate these men, when the Govt. Investigator still has no clue about these men?
What gives McClellan the expertise to be able to clear these men?
Could it be that Scott talked to them? Could it be that it is as simple as Bush's demanding an answer from his staff?
It is now clear that the White House of the United States is harboring traitors within its walls.
Nothing is accidental here...
