BushCo is NOT in chaos over the Libby Revelation |
|
Libby's testimony is NOT news to BushCo! They have had weeks to prepare for this day. They, most likely, have been able to follow every step, every detail and every secret of Fitz's investigation by illegally eavesdropping. They have undoubtedly constructed a plan to neutralize this story. The horrific aspect of today's revelation is contemplating BushCo's counter measure.

2. They also saw Katrina approaching for 5 days and were unable to respond |

I think they have become so arrogant that they think it doesn't matter... at some point, that mindset is going to cost them, perhaps here.

3. How come they let it happen on a Thursday then? |
|
Big tactical mistake, IMHO. They usually get this stuff buried on Fridays. Interesting.

5. I never said they could control the date of the revelation |
|
My point is that they knew it was coming.

6. The revelation was triggered by Fitz's filing |
|
They couldn't control that except by shutting down the courthouse with a faux terrorism alert.

4. They'll go for the usual plan - everything changed after 9/11 |

They will claim that everything changed after 9/11 and they acted in the best interest of the US. They will claim that there were some indications that Iraq had WMDs and they thought it was better to be safe than sorry. That's why we are fighting them over there and not here. Freedom comes at a price. History will be the judge. Can't comment on this during an on-going investigation. Because we are "at war" the president has expanded powers.
I think this pretty much runs the gamut of their usual excuses. They will try to invoke fear and not mention bin Laden. You know, like they've been doing all along.
on edit: changed "or" to "than" in first paragraph, second sentence. Oh yeah, and I forgot to ask you "Why do you hate America?" ;)

7. The press got clamped down pretty darn quick |
|
fortunately there's only so-much stuff that will fit under the proverbial carpet.
When Fitz brings new charges.. that will be the big news day. There's no strong-arming their way outta justice.
