Bush's role in Plame leak

[tuvor]

I believe there are only two possibilities, and neither is very desirable in a leader.

1. Other. Not an active participant, but he knew.

2. I don't think Bush is ever 'in the loop'. I think policy gets hashed out

in the right wing think tanks and then * is given his marching orders - but made to think he is actually coming up with 'vital input' in the planning. They surround him with Kool-aid. We know the guy never reads anything on his own - except my pet goat. If you are surrounded by staffers unified on what 'the next step is' - and get info from no other experts or heads of intellectual disciplines - then you think as they think.

3. Third option -- he knew, which on this poll would have to qualify

as active by not stopping it, I suppose.

4. That's exactly where I was coming from.

Could have been better worded, I guess.

5. I vote he is both loopy AND in the loop..

Can I do that? ;)

6. Bush gave the green light to Rove

because Bush is a petty little shithead.
