CIA background on Tenet: http://tinyurl.com/29mo9a

I don’t blame Tenant for being bitter at being a ‘fall guy’, but its not like the administration has been skillful in THEIR OWN defense.

He is just the weak link that can’t take the heat, and has the latest book deal. A great deal of respect for the fool has been lost by this proud Neocon.

After watching the 60 minutes interview, I am more convinced than ever this man should have never held the top position in the CIA, let alone be allowed to stay after Bush took office. It seems he was promoted to early and to often.

I watched the interview. We would benefit from a lie-detector test given to Tenet. He denies meaning that slam dunk meant other than how the world reads it. He claims outright that he believed his analysts when they told him that Iraq has WMD [and let's read that as something with mushroom potential not something used years ago] Probably the same analysts who claimed that for the aspirin factories bombed by Clinton.

Of very strong interest is why was [is] he never asked is, 'Why did you believe your analysts and not the inspectors who actually looked'.

Tenet is a loser. The only ones buying his book are those who believe in cut and run in Iraq.

failed leadership,"

seems like it

Saw the interview, he says the evidence for Saddam having chemical and biological weapons was solid, the CIA estimate as to when he would acquire nukes was ‘07-’09. Claims the “slam dunk” comment was deliberately leaked out of the context in which it was used, and that he was made the fall guy.

This man presided over the largest, most deadly intelligence failure in US History on 9/11. He then went on to screw up the intelligence on Iraq. Now, to escape blame for historic incompetency, he does what all Democrats do, blame Republicans in a book. All the while knowing the dishonest, disgraceful media in this country will help him in his mission. What a total POS this guy is.

Fake but Accurate!!! Can you believe these people? Have thye no shame at all?

Critics have started picking apart the book's accuracy. In a dramatic preface, Tenet said he ran into former Pentagon adviser Richard Perle coming out of the White House on Sept. 12, 2001, and Perle told him Iraq had to pay for the attack. "They bear responsibility," Tenet recalls Perle saying.

On Sunday, Perle categorically denied the exchange to the editor of the conservative Weekly Standard and noted he was out of the country until Sept. 15. Tenet's associate said the date may have been wrong, but the exchange took place.

A half-dozen former CIA officers — including counterterrorism experts Larry Johnson

NOW THERE IS A REAL LOSER — Larry Johnson. Every time we see good ‘ole Larry’s name we should remember that this is the man who predicted a month or two before 9/ll (in the NY Times) that terrorism wasn’t really a threat against the U.S. One would think he would have the decency to keep his mouth shut, but no.

I’ll read the book and decide. Not taking the school marm’s word for anything.

I don’t know if you can pin it on him, but the pre-war misinformation was the worst intelligence failure since the Trojan horse and has done a huge amount of harm to the US and indeed to the whole world.

I have only seen one thing earth shattering in Tenet's remarks.  He clearly states that he believed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.  He takes fault & blame for the NIE of 2002 that indicated Iraq had WMD.  He did say "it's a slam dunk." 
 
What IS earth shattering is that there are so many that believe the President should NOT have believed his head of the Central Intelligence Agency, the combined consensus of 15 other intelligence agencies herded into the NIE and the consensus of every other government on the face of the planet including Iraq and the former U.S. administration that he did have WMD.

Now, just how crazy, foolish and stupid would President Bush have looked if he said five years ago that all of these people were nuts and wrong.

Tenet expects the next prez to be a Dhimmicrat, and wants a job. Wrong on both counts, IMHO, but even if the first is right, his job prospects are zero. No one likes a turncoat.
