Breaking News on Fox
I hope you're right.
Feinstein on CNN. Her mantra is to use the word "unusual".
We have a presidential election coming up, so this is "unusual".
She wants to know what went wrong "structurally" due to the WMD intelligence.
She agrees with Lott about thanking Tenet for his service, BUT...the my doorbell rang.
I just heard on a local talk radio show that Tenet was once an administrative assistant for Senator John Warner. I wonder how well he knew "Terraayza"?
If the leak did come from a drunken blabbering CIA agent then Tenet did fall on the sword for the bum. I wonder if we will ever hear who the agent was.
I may be wrong but I think Masha is a foreign national. If that is true then misunderstanding english metaphors is completely understandable.
Then have Tenet say the no WMD issue is his fault publicly. That's what would be helpful.
Of course it does give one pause, this resignation coming on the heels of the Chalabi resignation. Who's the next domino?
Actually I like Kellynla's Idea move Cheney to VP and put Condi Rice as VP.
although I still have questions about her Imean just how conservative is she?
Sen. Kerry, not Warner, is married to Teraza.
You are so right.
Your comment makes no sense. THIS could cost Bush the election? LoL. Totally absurd, 80% of the population has no clue who Tenet even is.
"Actually I like Kellynla's Idea move Cheney to VP and put Condi Rice as VP"
2 VP's? Interesting :)
Yes, if only these guys would make some true confessions. Instead they let the media pile it on, speculation after speculation.
How about Rudy. He took on the mob in NYC.
Rush Limbaugh: I don't know why Tenet is leaving but do know for fact that Tenet has enormous respect for Bush and isn't leaving for any personal animosity and won't be causing trouble.
The late Senator Warner was married to Terraayza and she still considers him her "real husband" as she says.
CIA will be fingered by the 9/11 commission, of course.
They clearly did NOT detect the attacks in time.
There is zero - positively zero - chance that Tenet will be considered personally responsible for that. CONGRESS and Clintoon, and especially Sens. Torcelli and Kerry and their ilk, are responsible for the mess the CIA was in, and the lack of both human and monetary resources. If, big if, Tenet does any news show rounds, it will be to point out the way CIA was hamstrung by those two things. When he does, he will also point out that President Bush had a HUGE budget increase for CIA in his pre-9/11 budget plans. (who knows what actually increases had already been spent in the "black" budget)
.
I'd agree with that, except the "qualified" part. Rudy would be perfectly qualified to manage the CIA. He's one of the best managers in the country. He's not being asked to be a CIA agent. Goss would do a fine job, no doubt, but it is still a managerial job at its heart.
At long last!!!
On February 5, 2001, President Bush announced his intention to nominate Dr. Paul Wolfowitz to be Deputy Secretary of Defense. He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate on Feb. 28th and sworn in March 2, 2001 as the 28th Deputy Secretary of Defense. This is Dr. Wolfowitz's third tour of duty in the Pentagon.
For the last seven years, Dr. Wolfowitz has served as Dean and Professor of International Relations at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of The Johns Hopkins University. SAIS is widely regarded as one of the world's leading graduate schools of international relations with 750 students, studying on campuses in Washington, D.C.; Nanjing, China; and Bologna, Italy. As Dean, he led a successful capital campaign that raised more than $75 million and doubled the school's endowment. Also under his leadership, the curriculum and facilities were modernized and new faculty and programs were added to shift the school's focus from the Cold War to the era of globalization.
From 1989 to 1993, Dr. Wolfowitz served as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy in charge of the 700-person defense policy team that was responsible to Secretary Dick Cheney for matters concerning strategy, plans, and policy. During this period Secretary Wolfowitz and his staff had major responsibilities for the reshaping of strategy and force posture at the end of the Cold War.
Under his leadership, the Policy Staff played a major role in reviewing war plans for the Gulf War, and developing and executing plans that successfully raised more than $50 billion in Allied financial support for the war and prevented Iraq from opening a second front with Israel. Other key initiatives included the development of the Regional Defense Strategy, the Base Force, and two presidential nuclear initiatives that led to the elimination of tens of thousands of U.S. and Soviet nuclear weapons.
During the Reagan administration, Dr. Wolfowitz served for three years as U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia - the fourth largest country in the world and the largest in the Moslem world. There he earned a reputation as a highly popular and effective Ambassador, a tough negotiator on behalf of American intellectual property owners, and a public advocate of political openness and democratic values. During his tenure, Embassy Jakarta was cited as one of the four best-managed embassies inspected in 1988.
Prior to that posting, he served three and a half years as Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, where he was in charge of U.S. relations with more than twenty countries. In addition to contributing to substantial improvements in U.S. relations with Japan and China, Assistant Secretary Wolfowitz played a central role in coordinating the U.S. policy toward the Philippines that supported a peaceful transition from the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos to democracy.
Dr. Wolfowitz's previous government service included:
Two years as head of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff (1981-82):
An earlier Pentagon tour as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Regional Programs (1977-80), where he helped create the force that later became the United States Central Command and initiated the Maritime Pre-positioning Ships, the backbone of the initial U.S. deployment twelve years later in Operation Desert Shield; Four years (1973-77) in the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, working on the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks and a number of nuclear nonproliferation issues; and A year as a Management Intern at the Bureau of the Budget (1966-67).
Dr. Wolfowitz taught previously at Yale (1970-73) and Johns Hopkins (1981). In 1993, he was the George F. Kennan Professor of National Security Strategy at the National War College. He has written widely on the subject of national strategy and foreign policy and was a member of the advisory boards of the journals Foreign Affairs and National Interest.
Among his many awards for public service are:
The Presidential Citizen's Medal,
The Department of Defense's Distinguished Public Service Medal,
The Department of State's Distinguished Honor Award,
The Department of Defense's Distinguished Civilian Service Medal, and
The Arms Control and Disarmament Agency's Distinguished Honor Award.
Dr. Wolfowitz received a bachelor's degree from Cornell University (1965) in mathematics, and a doctorate in political science from the University of Chicago (1972).
(Current as of Mar 2001)
there is NO WAY IN HELL Keating would get through confirmations. Bush knows he is tainted they would not risk a butchering at a hearing.
