Bush leaked the CLASSIFIED memo about Maliki!

What a Hypocrite.

Published on December 3, 2006 By COL Gene In Politics

It is remarkable—When the New York Times or some other newspaper releases classified information it is a security problem. Now it turns out that Bush used the New York Times to leak classified information from his National Security Advisor and that is just fine. What a hypocrite!

That guy is so evil that anyone that mentions his name should be shot.

Stand still.

You know full well that the organization that classifies a document is the organization that can declassify it. If it was a White House document Prs. Bush was completely in his authority to declassify it.

So how is it hypocritical?

There was NO declassification of this memo before it was released. Now the Rummy classified memo was also released. To declassify something the classifying agency MUST go through a formal process not just decide it is politically opportunistic to leak it to the press.

This is Bush using the classification system for political purposes. When you defend Bush you look like such a FOOL!

The only fool here is you! We've been over this same item 1000's of times. Lets start with just "HOW" do you know there was no declassification of this memo prior to it's release? Are you on the inside, privy to info that the rest of us aren't? No you are not! So "if" you're not and have no proof to back yourself up, you're just talking crap again per usual!

Ah yes, the weekly anti-Bush article.

This is Bush using the classification system for political purposes. When you defend Bush you look like such a FOOL!

What would you call constantly repeating the same articles over and over about one man?

You people are just so out of it. The hypocrisy here is a clear as anything. When Bush wants to release classified information it is fine. When anyone else does the SAME THING it is a security issue. It is a SECURITY ISSUE no matter WHO releases the classified information.

YOU are the one that's out of it! Why don't you just answer my question? Or do I take it that you're wrong yet again?

Lets start with just "HOW" do you know there was no declassification of this memo prior to it's release? Are you on the inside, privy to info that the rest of us aren't? No you are not!

If the two memos had been declassified the report would have said that they had been declassified. In the past when classified material was released like the NIE that said the Iraq war is making us LESS secure, Bush quickly indicated that sections were declassified. There was NO SUCH statement about either the Memo from the National Security Advisor about Maliki or the Memo from Rummy saying what we are doing in Iraq IS NOT WORKING! You are so full of BS. Every time ANYTHING that shows the inept way Bush is operating becomes public information, you and others on this Blog site feel the need to defend the incompetent man we have in the White House!

And YOUR so full of bs it's coming out your mouth. Anytime you find something new that you can blame on Bush, you do so. Even if you have absolutely NO proof!

If the President can't declassify what he's (through his agents) previously classified, who can? What's the drill, Gene? You seem to know so share your vast knowledge with us, please.

Once again you are willing to blatantly lie to make a point that doesn't exist.
If you were still in I would rip the rank off your dishonorable shoulders.

You have not had the right or any justification to Rip Anything from my shoulders. The person who dishonors and is responsible for KILLING our brave troops is GWB. He sent our troops into a war that was not necessary and because he did not listen to our military leaders many have died or are injured because of the way this war was fought. There is no greater disservice that ANYONE could perform than what George W. Bush has done to this country. Every day shows just HOW bad a President we have in power. Anyone that supports him is almost as bad as Bush!

Lets see here.

The NYT constantly publishes leaked documents, most likely from democratic sources, and col has no problem with that and doesn't think it's political.

Ok, it all makes sense now.

My point is that if it is the NYT that leaks something it is a problem. If Bush or one of him minions does the same thing it is just fine.
