Was Goss in over his head and Bush wants someone who will really crack some heads?

Goss worked for the CIA. He was an insider. Sounds like a mutiny over there.

He's just started to clean out the CIA, why would he leave now?

That may be why. Perhaps he's discovered that the corruption goes too deep and too many untouchable people are involved. His hands were tied.

Kabar,

Maybe he got canned for McCarthy/Priest/Risen fiasco's in-total.

Ouch if it is so, he seems like a top notch guy for the job.

I perfer to believe the people on both sides marching in the streets.

Do you think that abortion is the major issue on American's minds when pro-life and pro-choice groups are marching in the streets?

This could b because of either great fear or great failure.

1. Fear that they might really need him to run for his old congressional seat?

2. I've wondered if it rankled him that an overall intel chief was installed after he took the CIA job....former Ambassador Whasisname Insider....

This worries me a bit. I'm getting a bad feeling.

Ditto. This is not good, no matter how they spin it.

More likely - a disagreement on Iran.

Officials have also done little to discourage speculation that Treasury Secretary John Snow is leaving.

The back story may be Hookergate.
