["He told me he was resigning for personal reasons," Bush said. ]

That's the story the President is putting out.... now are you saying that it isn't the truth?

[Peach]

He certainly didn't resign to bash the president, as you are alluding to.

It's been reported that he wanted to resign for some time but the administration talked him out of it.

It's an exhausting, demanding, 24/7 job and it's highly likely he resigned because he's exhausted and has had enough.

He's already stayed longer than most directors and most directors didn't serve under such stressful circumstances.

Gee... maybe he resigned for ... ... personal reasons. The President has asked him to stay on now for over a year longer than he intended. He's been CIA director for seven years. Only one man has been in that position for longer. Only two others have been there as long as six years. Certainly, given that there have been 18 D/CIA since 1946, (See post#235) he wouldn't have expected such a long tenure, and one lasting UNPRECIDENTEDLY long into the next administration.

Yeah - Personal and financial reasons - and time for a rest from the pressure cooker qualifies as personal.

I thank him for his service, and loyalty in a very difficult and predictably thankless job and position given the times we're in.

Hello! I anybody home at your address?
