VALERIE PLAME , "LEAK, " ARMITAGE, NOT ROVE OR LIBBY

After years of investigation and millions of dollars as well as continual hounding by the press and the left who saw a chance for blood in the Bush White House the truth now is revealed concerning who Bob Novacs source was concerning Valerie Plame. No it wasn't Karl Rove the White House staffer that the media and the left was drooling over and no it was not , "Scooter, " Libby who resigned as the Vice President's Chief of Staff because of an indictment handed down that had nothing to do with the Plame investigation but with Libby's inability to consistantly remember EVERY detail of conversations that had taken place months before and the chronological chain of events that again took place months before, like who could ? It turns out that the source was none other than assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage who was known as a member of the State Department to disagree with much of the Bush Foreign policy therefore not a political hack who was out to get Plames husband Joe Wilson and a well known Washington gossip who has never known how to keep his mouth shut! Has anyone noticed the , "extensive, " media coverage that this is getting ? Amazingly and not surprisingly this story which was released yesterday by Newsweek and MSNBC, ( liberals all, so obviously not coming from a conservative view point to cover for the administration), has been invisible in the media. Now those of you on the left will say it is because it is a non story. Granted the Plame ordeal has been played to death and inspite of the liberal medias best efforts has not affected the White House with the public. But the distinction here is that now there is proof that the witch hunt for someone in the Bush administration was just that a political witch hunt and not a justified investigation since the Federal prosecuter, Fitzgerald, new all along that Armitage was the source as revealed in the story yet the media ignores this revelation. Could that be because it actually gives a certain amount of vindication to Rove and Libby as well as the VP and others in the White House who have been accused and hounded as if they were under criminal investigation and the verdict had already been handed down ? Could it be that now that the leak turns out to be Armitage from State and not someone from the Bush White House Valerie Plames bogus civil suite no longer holds any credence since it is now proven to be filed under false pretences ? Could it be that this whole fiasco is now an embarassment to the left because they had based their hopes on this investigation causing the collapse of the Bush administration and possibly even the resignation of the President ? Could it be that it is obvious now that this whole case and the time and dollars that it took was just another in a line of liberal attempts to attack the Bush administration unjustifiably ? Or could it be all of the above ? As usual the left and the media will never admit when they are wrong nor will they admit that they have and will continue to use any and all means to undermine this President and through false accusation try to destroy his Presidency. Now that the truth is revealed all that is left is that one man, "Scooter, "Libby will spend thousands of dollars defending himself against charges that should have not been filed in the first place and a distinquished career of public service has been ended. Congrats to the left, the media and the prosecutor for , "a job well done!" Yeah right!
