Valuable lesson to the Prez. Don't let Clinton appointee's anywhere near the reins of power. Please dump Mineta now.
Ms. Rice will spank him again and Georgie will just cry.

History will not be kind to Tenet. Try as he will to spin otherwise, he dropped the ball repeatedly. Many thousands of lives were lost as a consequence.
Helll-OOOOOO.... the Bush administration had been on the job scant months when it happened... what a jackass.
Paul o'Neill wasn't a Clinton man and he sure was no friend. And how about David Kay - wasn't he suppose to be a friend of the administration? I guess its hard to know whom to trust and who might turn on you.
This the same CIA that totally missed India and Pakistan's development of nukes? The same CIA that completely underestimated the black market nuclear trade? The same Tenet who oversaw the CIA during the 1990s, when terror attack after terror attack went unanswered?
WTF did he think was going to happen?
I see he's wasting no time putting himself thru the spin cycle.
I hope he gets dizzy and barfs all over himself.
Tenet - a CLINTOON appointee- says Condi is incompetant?? Wasn't he in a position to do something about Bin Laden for YEARS before Condi got to Washington?
Tenet is the incompetant one
oh- and the reason they are going after Condi is because a CONDI/??? ticket in 2008 would crush hilLIARy
This must be news to quite a few illegal immigration single issue freepers.
"Robert Barnett, the lawyer who's shopping the proposal, also declined to discuss the book."
Well, "Surprise, surprise!" He's using the Clinton's book agent. I guess this tells us as much as anything about whose pocket he is in.
This will probably be not-so-much about trashing Dr. Rice, but more about saving Clinton's sorry behind yet again.
Did they all take an oath of Muerta before they were allowed to be in that administration? What kind of spoils were they promised, in return for their souls????
Pinz
Bush hater wet dream.
I haven't been impressed by Rice but this claim is completely ridiculous. Is there another source for this other than "webindia"?
The 9/11 Commission has retroactively never existed in the public eye.
Soeaking of 9/11 COmmission reports, I doubt Tenet will blame Condi for 9/11. It would make him look anything but good.
It's very possible that Tenet is still stinging from
the criticisms he incurred....like these:
CNN June 4 2004 http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/06/03/tenet.resigns/
"Several key lawmakers -- including Sen. John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee -- have called for his resignation, and coming reports are expected to call for sweeping changes in the intelligence community.
Kerry released a statement saying he wished Tenet "the very best," but said the Bush administration has to take responsibility for "significant intelligence failures."
"Sometimes with change comes opportunity," Kerry said. "This is an opportunity for the president to lead. As I've said for some time, we must reshape our intelligence community for the 21st century and create a new position of director of national intelligence with real control of all intelligence personnel and budgets."
Sen. Richard Shelby, a former Intelligence Committee chairman, said Tenet's decision to step down as director of central intelligence was "long overdue."
"There were more failures of intelligence on his watch as director of the CIA than any other [director of Central Intelligence] in our history," Shelby, R-Alabama, said in a written statement. "I have long felt that, while an honorable man, he lacked the critical leadership necessary for our intelligence community to effectively operate, particularly in the post-9/11 world."
***
"In journalist Bob Woodward's recent book, "Plan of Attack," Tenet is quoted telling Bush that intelligence supporting Iraq's weapons programs was a "slam-dunk." (Woodward: Tenet told Bush WMD case a 'slam dunk')
And Tenet sat behind Secretary of State Colin Powell during the secretary's February 2003 presentation to the U.N. Security Council, in which the United States accused Iraq of violating numerous U.N. resolutions requiring its disarmament.
Powell said last month that the sources of his allegations were "inaccurate and wrong and, in some cases, deliberately misleading. And for that I am disappointed, and I regret it."
