Hmm ....
In the 1980s, less than a month after Iran was declared an enemy of the United States, the Reagan Administration, in a plan masterminded by Oliver North, sold weapons to *guess who?* Iran, and used the money to illegally fund the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua.
Less than two years ago, Karl Rove revealed the identity of a covert CIA operative, Valerie Plame, an act which George H.W. Bush denounced as one of the highest forms of treason.
I recently read an editorial in the Wall Street Journal thanking Karl Rove for doing so, because apparently it needed to be known to denounce one of the President's critics. Ironically, the same editorial clearly stated that there were many forms of evidence that Karl Rove could have stated that debunked Joseph Wilson's editorial without revealing the fact that his wife was a CIA operative. One conclusion can only be arrived at for Rove's motive behind revealing her identity: political vengeance.
How sad. Then again, how much can we expect from a man who sent letters to South Carolina Republicans in 2000 telling them (falsely) that John McCain had a black baby?
Now, please tell me: how exactly is this the party of patriotism?
