On the Secret CIA/Cheney Plan, the Democrats Are The One's Looking Bad!

Right now, there's a big flap on Capitol Hill about a secret plan within the CIA that was intended to hunt down and kill or assassinate Al Qaeda leaders. Apparently, Dick Cheney is at the heart of this flap because he advised the CIA to develop the plan and keep it secret (See Full Story). All indications are that this plan was never really implemented. Now, the Congressional Democrats are all upset because they weren't ever advised of this supposedly "phantom" program.

I don't know about you but, I would have thought that a plan to assassinate Al Qaeda leadership was a "given" following 9/11. Did Congress actually think that such a plan wasn't on the table in the wake of those murderous attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon building? How stupid are these people who call themselves members of our Congress? Even if the CIA didn't tell them, wouldn't they, as concerned leaders of our country, ask if the CIA had formulated any plans to hunt down Al Qaeda and ask for the details? If the CIA didn't have a plan, wouldn't you or I, if we were members of Congress, tell them to come up with one. Are the Democrats implying that they went to dozens upon dozens of CIA briefings and had no input or questions about what seems to be an obvious reaction or response to the events of 9/11?

For this reason, it sure looks like this whole Cheney/CIA thing is being hyped for the purely political reason of protecting Nancy Pelosi from her own stupidity in saying that the CIA consistently lied to Congress. Of course, if the Democrats say that it isn't about politics; then, one can only conclude that they are admitting to their own, complete stupidity and their complete lack of the kind of leadership that is needed to protect this country! Either way, it makes them look very bad!
