THOUGHT RE TENET
NRO - The Corner ^ | 6/3/04 | KJL

Posted on 06/04/2004 3:58:42 PM PDT by swilhelm73

THOUGHT RE TENET [KJL] Last week, Al Gore near-tearfully asked for his resignation. I can picture it all now. The Tenet press conference with Howard Dean's group and MoveOn were he announces that Bush is a failed leader. The October surprise book where he blames everything wrong with intel on W., Condi & the Pentagon.

In truth, I really can't imagine he could (except if he was asked to leave, which is very possible--probably likely?--though it is very belated). President Bush has been ridiculously (and ill-advisedly) loyal to him. But, if he did, it probably couldn't hurt the Anybody But Bush Kerry campaign, even if it comes from arguably (is it though?) Bush's worst Cabinet member. Posted at 10:55 AM

TENET'S TELL ALL [KJL] Good point from Jonah's Military Guy (Jonah lets us share): Well, unless the new Director of the CIA is a total idiot, there is no way a documented tell-all will make it in time for the election.

Anything Tenet wants to write about his tenure as Director will have to be vetted and approved by the CIA or Tenet will [head to] Leavenworth.

That process takes time - and, unless the President were to direct that it be expedited (with GWB, possible, he's really got an excessive loyalty gene) it couldn't get through the review process in time.

Remember Dick Clarke wrote Bush a letter saying what a nice man and great president he was


just before he drove a knife into his back.

The G.I.s are doing a great job, Bush is doing a great job, and the RATS have shameful frigging disgrace pretty well nailed down!

Tenet praised Bush during his announcement.

It would be hard to get the public to accept yet another tell all book from someone who was just praising the President on tv.

I quite frankly can't see Tenet doing that anyway. He was the subject of intense loyalty from the President.

Hopefully he would return the favor.

I know it's happened before, but for some reason, I see Tenet a bit differently.
