FWIW, since the US is worried about an attack this summer, I don't think the Senate will dare screw with the confirmation process. No matter how much they'd like to.

[Peach]

I always liked Tenet too, despite the beatings he has taken on FR by those who dislike him.

[oceanview]

not if it were Rudy, the Dems couldn't touch him. how about Zell Miller.

[Landru]

"Now if the rest of the Clintoon "holdovers" go, we might make progress..."

Exactly.

...the logic seems so simple.

[spokeshave]

VP for John F'n Kerry...?

[plain talk]

The media will spin it as Bush's national security team cracking up because the war has gone badly

I don't think it will be related to the Iraq war. They may spin it as related to 9/11 hearings though. Will it be enough to feed the liberal appetite for destruction? They will chant for Condi's head too.

I thought that when I watched him being questioned by the 911 commission, he seemed to point the finger at Gorelickers "wall" slightly. I am not so sure anyone else would have done much better with the restrictions in place by Gorelick, Reno, et al.

Wonder who Bush will put in his place...

[hobbes1]

Correct, which could account for the timing. This takes the President off the hook for Intel failures since Tenet was a Clinon appointee, and Now the Presidnet can stick his guy in, Right around the time of the Dems Convention.

[null and void]

Bets on how long before he writes an anti Bush book anyone?

Probably done. He just needs to get it downloaded from the government computer...

[oceanview]

that is another issue here - Tenet may know of some attacks coming this summer, and wants to get the hell out of the way now.

I don't like any of this.

"I want RUDY! I want RUDY!"

LOL, Can't have him!
He's needed to run against Shrillary in '06.

[sinkspur]

This is not good news 150 days from the election.

It will not have one iota of effect on the election.

Tenet's job is done. Seven years is a long time in this job, as Boyden Gray says.

[mhking]

'bout damn time.

[Peach]

Rudy would be good.

I'm dreading the confirmation process...regardless of the terrorist threats for this summer...the Rats will politicize it.

[CasearianDaoist]

Of course he will. you will see Tenet and Bemer come out strongly against the administration. They hae been planning this a long time. It will be the plame leaks, Chalabi, Bremer and Tenet all summer. capped off with the 911 report.

Bushg was a fool to trust any Democrat. It will not be pretty. Hope it does not cost the election.

[1Old Pro]

'bout time.

[areafiftyone]

Is he writing a book?

[Mustangcountry]

Don't you mean jailed?

[Tolik]

RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Me, too.
