You sound like you're hoping he does.

LOL. I don't think he'd do that to his dad :) I'd be happy with Rudy or Woolsey.

I think so. This Chalabi business looks like a vendetta.

They would swallow their hatred for Bush and confirm Rudy because they would look bad for smearing him. But, that would be the ONLY reason.

Undoubtedly.

Back in the post 9-11 lynching of Tenet, I predicted Rudy would eventually lead the CIA. Bet it happens!

Make McCain director. That will force the RATS to shoot themselves in the head.

That's the best idea I've heard yet. I'm sick of sKerry trying to float Sen. McCain's name around, trying to get some shine by association. As a fiscal CONSERVATIVE, I've always had respect for John McCain. Making him the head of CIA makes practical sense, because he has the chops; and it makes political sense, because the libs need to be perfectly clear: he's OURS.

McCain would be a perfect choice.

The CIA Director's position is usually a burial ground for ambitious people. Bush I is the only one who has ever beaten that rap, and then only because Reagan raised the elder Bush's political career from the dead in Detroit in 1980.

If you put McCain in, you have easy confirmation hearings, and McCain in the center having a piece of Bush's action. Big ego stroke. McCain sitting at the table at Principal's Meetings would be enough to make him swear off booze. He might even dump this wife and try to date Condi Rice.

Bottom line? It is better to have McCain inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

They will and it will cost them. They still pretend that 9-11 never happened

How about Hillary for DCIA? Then she can take the fall for the next attack. After all, she is the smartest woman in the world.(/sarcasm)

That's just plain evil. I like the way you think...

>>I am literally just waking up and was stunned when Fox broke in with their GONG and had real honest to goodness "breaking news".

Fox having actual "Breaking News" is almost a "Breaking News" item all by itself.

Timing is Perfect. They will be working on a new director at the same time as the Dims head to their Convention.


You couldnt PLAN it any better.

Frank Keating would be good.

All this talk about Rudy is silly. Guiliani has no desire to get buried in a rathole like the CIA.

He knows he's bound for the Senate, the Governor's Mansion in Albany, or the White House.

He doesn't need the CIA on his resume.

"Dana Priest on MSNBC now says that Tenet was good at rebuilding morale at the CIA after it was so bad after the Clinton years. I was shocked."

Clinton didn't have meetings with Tenet! He ignored the CIA. I don't think Tenet is really Clinton's guy. If Tenet comes out and criticizes Bush, he will be contradicting himself. He defended Bush well during the 911 smearings.

This is a good development for the following reasons:

1) It will distract from the prison scandal -- which the public will begin to forget about

2) It will be seen as a sign that the president is holding people accountable for perceived intelligence failures.

3) Tenet likes Bush personally (far, far better than he liked Clinton) and is more likely to write a Clinton-bashing book that a Bush-bashing book.

4) Confirmation hearings are a great way for the GOP to showcase Democrat obstructionism and shrillness -- which will not play well with the public.

5) Confirmation hearings will distract from the Dem Convention anddraw public attention, reducing any "bounce" Kerry would normally get -- because coverage will be reduced.

All and all, this is VERY good news.

P.S. It is time to start tracking-down and purging FR of Bush-hating sleeper trolls.

If 95% of Americans don't know who Tenet is, then people aren't paying attention to the news and will not hear the media spin.

As I said, of those who know who he is at least 50% of them will be glad Tenet is gone and another 50% will not be glad he is gone but won't blame the president for Tenet leaving.

But they care about their own skins. And DC is a target.
