My first entry
....Ok this is my first entry here on this blog. New to this so bear with me. I have with some interest been following the plight of our President. I'm a true non believer in the efficiency of the government. I'm also a former employee of a local government. I know how dysfunctional that piece of government was, so I can imagine the dysfunction in our national government.
So I guess I'll start with the Valerie Plame debacle,fiasco, or as the press has dubbed it...Her "outing" as an undercover CIA field operative. Don't get me wrong, I think the disclosure of her status as an undiscovered officer in our leading security/spy agency was a horrible thing to do. I'm sure it has tainted her job as an agent and may have far reaching consequences for people she has worked with in certain endeavors, lets just hope none of the consequences are fatalities.
The Republicans are fighting back now against what the Dems are saying about the being mislead to war, Bush and Cheney have both alledged that what the Dems are doing is irresponsible and reprehensible....Undermining our troops and the security of the United States.
It seems to me that the "outing" of an undercover CIA operative, during a period of war, against fundamentalist Islamic factions, is some what of a security breech, and possibly a source of undermining what our troops are involved in the recent battles with the insurgency in Iraq.
I think maybe the Dems are forcing the point to the ridiculous, although I agree something needs to change. I don't have any experience or the knowledge to run a country's inner sanctum government. I do know what this nation is going through right now is demoralzing, and it needs to stop. The lives of some 180,000 troops in a foriegn land are at stake. They need our support and every bit of logistical help available to them. The infighting going on will tear this nation to shreds and give the Islamic fundementalists the fissures they need to subdivide our nation, and set up another devastating attack.
....or maybe I'm just paranoid.....
myspelling and grammar is probably off s I haven't had anytime to edit this entry, you should be able to get the jist of what I'm trying to say though......Thanks, Chris.
