The "Powell showed memo to Bush/Cheney" flap - what am I missing? |
|
Edited on Fri Oct-21-05 08:37 PM by DancingBear
Everyone seems to be de-bunking this due to the fact that the President and Vice-President never travel together, and hence could not have been on the plane.
However, nowhere in any of this do I see Powell "claiming" that he showed it to Bush and Cheney at the same time.
Is this an important "omit'? Could Powell have shown them this memo at different times?
Is this a viable scenario, or am I dreaming...

1. Please correct your subject line: substitute "Powell" for "McCain" |
|
but the rest of your post makes sense.

2. I could have sworn I saw those two together for a funeral or something |
|
Was it Reagan's funeral? Campaign stops? I could have sworn I saw the big DICK and * with their nasty wives all getting off of an aircraft at least once.
Am I imagining things?

6. I think it's a rule that the president and v.president |
|
are never to fly on the same airplane at the same time for security reasons.

7. Fine. But they do not travel together. i.e., in the same plane. |
|
And probably do not travel at the same time. That's been the rigour for some time now.

5. Meeting in AF1 on the ground happens all the time |
|
They could of been there all-together on the TARMAC of Andrews (or other location) holding a meeting prior to AF1 flying out.

11. That is probably where my confusion comes in |
|
I have seen those two vile creatures parading around on the tarmac together at various times.

8. The key is the memo was marked "S." |
|
And it was on that plane.

10. Here is the Article Stating "Bush on AFI Washington Post |
|
The memo was delivered to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell on July 7, 2003, as he headed to Africa for a trip with President Bush aboard Air Force One. Plame was unmasked in a syndicated column by Robert D. Novak seven days later. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/20/AR2005072002517.html
