The shutdown smackdown

Posted 02 Nov 2005 in Iraq, stupidity, war

The Left isn’t quite getting the “Fitzmas” presents they’ve all been anxiously awaiting. The Libby indictment, although serious, doesn’t nearly rise to the level they’ve been hoping for – Cheney’s resignation or Bush’s impeachment.

CIA leak prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald took the wind right out of their sails in his press conference last Friday:

This indictment is not about the war. This indictment’s not about the propriety of the war. And people who believe fervently in the war effort, people who oppose it, people who have mixed feelings about it should not look to this indictment for any resolution of how they feel or any vindication of how they feel….The indictment will not seek to prove that the war was justified or unjustified. This is stripped of that debate, and this is focused on a narrow transaction. And I think anyone who’s concerned about the war and has feelings for or against shouldn’t look to this criminal process for any answers or resolution of that.

Funny, that’s what was said last week. Just a few days ago. But Harry Reid, leader of the Senate Democrats, must have been watching Spongebob at the time. He and his ilk shut down the Senate yesterday, crowing;

“The Libby indictment provides a window into what this is really all about, how this administration manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to sell the war in Iraq and attempted to destroy those who dared to challenge its actions,” Reid said before the doors were closed.

Am I missing something here? These guys seem to be severely lacking in the comprehension department.
