And if you believe in it so much, then why aren't you in Iraq fighting? Why are you allowing others to sacrifice their lives fighting for your ideals?

Are you too old? Too fat? Or just too scared?

Most conservatives are yellow elephants. All talk, no courage. Most military personal, who serve during a time of war come out as liberals. Not so much in times of peace, but if you put them in during a hot war, just like thjey say there are no atheists in a foxhole, there are no republican veterans from a war. I went in as one, but a came out with my eyes open. Same went for 80% of my company. And most vets, from a real shooting war, feel the same.
Neo-cons, do not support our troops. They feel it is "too expensive". Better lower taxes, than support our troops. And this is from experience.

It's amazing that someone could only get 2.5 years for treason.

Libby%u2019s lie delayed the public knowledge that the administration had leaked the name of a covert officer in possible retaliation for her work as a covert CIA Officer on WMD%u2019s or because of her husbands Ambassador Wilson criticism of the administration use of forged pre war Niger intelligence, until after the election. The judge should have thrown the book at him and lock him up now, and Mr. Libby, no thank you for your public service we would have been much better off with out it.

I'd like to say to Libby and his supporters what our great VP once said to a Senator on the floor of the senate: Go F*** yourself.

I guess in "DickCheney'sWorld," Libby is a man of "...hign moral intellect and personal integrity." In the REAL WORLD, he is a thief and a liar.

What a sad commentary on the men the Ignorant Cracker Bible Suckers chose to lead our Nation.

The HUGE question is:

Why no outrage from the 'free' press on this, seems like it would be a m*therf*cker of a news story!
Yet, outing a CIA agent during a 'time of war' is a ho-hum occurrence in buSHAMErica...
In other times, in other administrations, there would be Deep Cleaning, but our VP says he 'was "saddened" by the verdict', and not a peep from the President of the United States...

It is deja 'vu all over again. "All The President's Men." Loyalists going to jail for trying to protect a corrupt president and vice president. They should all be in jail, including Rove.

Cheney, who said he was "saddened" by the verdict, described Libby in a statement as a man "of the highest intellect, judgment and personal integrity...

------

Obviously, the judge did not concur with Cheney's opinion.

don't know why Bush just dosen't pardon him now,
because it really dosen't matter. Bush's poll numbers are in the 28's and aren't going up. I do
notice abc, cbs and cnn all make Bush's poll numbers
around in the low 3o-35."

GW Bush will pardon Libby just before he leaves office.

I guarantee it.
