But, it will have ZERO effect on the election.
again, look at the polls. then tell me the negative media spin doesn't have an effect. it may not effect us here, we see through it. but most americans, and most of the independent and undecided voters who will decide this election, get their news from the mainstream media.
To dump Tenet at this time is an indication of some serious rift. What would have been the harm of him staying on 150 more days? Were his "personal & financial" reasons so acute that he couldn't have stayed 150 days?
Brit on Fox now.
"We may never know" why Tenet decided to exit at this point.
Clearly warmly regarded by Clinton.
Brit says he knows Tenet a bit and he is very warm and gracious
He notes President Bush's remarks and how he praised Tenet. But Brit lists some of the problems. He's harking back to the Chinese embassy bombing during Kosovo.
Brit's not sure about how Chalabi figures. He's leaning toward the 9/11 commission's report coming out.
BTW, anyone who watched Tenet testify would see he does not harbor any love for the Clinton administration or was at odds with Bush.<---this last para comprises my own thoughts, not Brit's.
That's nonsense. They may not know Tenet's name, but they view the job as important and demand that someone do it well. It's not like Postmaster General or something. If there was a CIA scandal, people would want the CID replaced immediately.
UNLESS (only unless) Tenet decides to strongly support President Bush's re-election.
