The "Opposition" Party

Democrats say that if top Bush aides are indicted, they will use the fact that Plame's identity was leaked in connection with the drive to invade Iraq to intensify their criticism of Bush.

''We'll try to take it back to the president," one Senate Democratic leadership aide said, speaking on condition of anonymity. ''We'll call for a wholesale housecleaning in the White House, like Reagan did after Iran-Contra, and call on the president to put an end to this culture of corruption."

So after three years of kissing Bush's ass with regards to his depraved actions in Iraq (except if arguing that they're not depraved enough), if indictments are brought the lies that facilitated the invasion will have suddenly become a sign of "corruption". Uhhhhhh...

And, natch, once the White House has been "housecleaned", the Democrats can get back to calling for troop increases.
