Instead of focusing on the reality of the OIL WAR in Iraq, the media, Democrats and Republicans have new talking points. Yea Libby! Now the media and Democrats can argue over Bush's commuting of Libby instead of the more important issues of war and impeachment!
These tricks used during this entire Libby trial by Karl Rove are genius. Libby wasn't a fall guy for the Republicans; Libby is a distraction for the media and a scapegoat for Democratic war apologists. This is the ultimate wagging of the dog. Hillary can bitch and moan about this all the while she still voted for the war (a war that still surges on). Republicans and the media can focus on whether or not it should be a pardon or a commute. Because this is all so important. Meanwhile troops are dying for lies.
WHERE IS THE MEDIA? Oil war! Oil war!
