Either a failure for allowing a spy into their "lair," or a victory because the CAUGHT THEM, obviously (i'm sure) due to their superior experience with "keeping America safe?"

1. What if he was one of the people helping to sell the Iraq war for them?
This means that TWO countries had spies helping to make decisions about the Iraq invasion? Chalabi for Iran, and this person (I'm betting it's Perle at this point) for Israel.

I'd have to think that would be a negative.

3. I don't think the spy would be positive
but I do see them spinning the fact that they "stopped" the spy...

GOD they are slime.

4. Since the guy was connected to Wolfowitz and Feith
And is very likely to have helped influence the decision to go to Iraq, I just don't think the American people will accept any spin on this.

But then again, I may just have too much faith in the American people.

6. I don't think anyone will care - the US is so flaming pro-israel ..
..that most of america will ask,"wait a minute, why is an irsaeli in US government trying to influence our policy a spy?!"

PS - pro-israel means pro-israeli government.

8. Don't know how you could give that a positive spin
but these slime balls are always looking for a scapegoat. I'm guessing this spy will be the source of much of the bad intel in the run-up to the war. It doesn't exonerate chimpco but they will spin it that way.
