What do you think of George Tenet?

Posted by admin - 28/07/10 at 04:07:44 pm

Ex CIA director George Tenet is bashing Bush about Iraq.
Now, I’m a liberal. I never supported the invasion of Iraq. But, George Tenet is the last person in the world whose word I would trust. Wasn’t it his department that gave Bush all the false intell in the first place? Just what is this guy trying to pull?
This is the guy who should come up on charges, in my opinion, not Bush. And, I don’t even like Bush.
Any thoughts?

3. I think you are right on the money. The department which he was responsible for, gave Congress and the President inaccurate intelligence. Failures within his department led to incorrect conclusions about the state of Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction program under Saddam Hussein.

4. J' like your point of view on the things ini. Reaksi my first is that Bush must clean the house when its government seized the power.

6. Tenent learned from the man who appointed him that, the best defense is a lying offense. It’s a smokescreen. On top of that, he’s blaming the VP, not President Bush.

7. Bush is ALWAYS right. If something went wrong, it’s someone else’s fault.

   Of course, this means he’s a shi tty leader, but at least he’s always right.

   We need to CAREFULLY overlook the FACT that the PNAC gang, which in 2000 was approximately HALF of the Bush administration, was sharpening their knives to go into Iraq as early as 1996.

   Aside from that, we can blame it all on Tenet.

   Bush, as the true Messiah, should get no blame whatsoever.

8. Actually, I don’t entirely fault him for the intelligence failures.

   Much of what the CIA was saying was rather equivocated – Saddam might have WMD, or he might not – that sort of thing. However, when the administration chose to declassify selections of the intelligence, they left all the parts that said he might, and blacked out the parts that said he might not.

   Now why would they do that? Hmm. . . .

   However, as to his open support for torture (despite his coy use of the phrase “extreme interrogation”), he’s just 100% wrong, immoral, and sleazy.

10. I don’t know much about the situation Bob, but I’d be interested in reading his book. The whole situation seems rotten to me. Who was Tenet taking orders from? Did Cheney tell him to find info linking 9/11 to Iraq? Is Tenet trying to come forward and now the Bush administration is throwing him under the bus?

    WTF?

11. These are people who allow themselves to Bush in the fall to see the use of buruk.Mungkin Intel, it tries to clean up, short perjury.

12. When I’ve read his entire book or most of it, I’ll be able to formulate an opinion on the guy. As of now, the book reviews and the 60 minute interview make a credible case that Bush ignored numerous warnings of an imminent attack by Al Qaeda prior to 9/11. Tenet’s account also squares with those of other insiders who have previously said and that there was no intelligence that Saddam was close to developing a nuclear weapon at the time the US invaded him in 2003.

13. 1. According to a report/ratio by the vétéran Bob Woodward journalist in her article d' enquête for ways in fact, personal principle of prêts personnel à reports/ratios of information on the weapons of massive destruction (WMD) in Iraq2. At the date of Décembre 14,2004, Bush reçu président it Médaille présidentielle of Freedom.3 principle. George Tenet is the même bloody hand that the others in l' administration, including Bush.Bush and George Tenet are two points with the même nap d' money!

14. Had Bush and Co. taken time to investigate and to find out more from other sources instead of acting with so much haste I would tend to agree with you. Bush wanted war with Iraq and it would not have mattered what Tenet said because Bush would have used some other source of “intel” to make his case.

    I suspect that Tenet was telling the Administration just what the wanted to here. If he didn’t he would have been out of a job sooner.

15. When there is so much corruption involved within the Bush administration, it doesn’t suprise me that someone like Tenet would bash Bush. Obviously there is something in it for him. Corruption breads corruption and no one is loyal or maintains any integrity especially when things start to fall apart.

16. Good point. Maybe the weasel is trying to avoid jail time or a sudden career halt, due to his work in the Public Sector.

17. his book explains how bush used him as a punching bag following the iraq debacle. . . . . . . .

    what i find more pathetic and disgusting than bush himself,,is the fact tenet sat back and allowed the US to get screwed, even received a medal, NOW that he has a book deal. . . . . . . . he’s going to charge the american people to hear how he was a victim. . . . . .

    traitor beyond measure.

18. I heard Tenet admit to making mistakes. I’ve never heard Bush admit to a mistake. I think this gives Tenet a little more credibility than Bush.
    I don’t think that Tenet is lying about the fact that Valerie Plame was a CIA operative and that when the administration outed her as political payback,that was a slap in the face of the entire CIA and comprised the mission of every agent. It was also a huge blow in the face of the agency. The CIA gave the administration a lot of Intel. Bush and Cheney cherry picked the stuff that would further their cause. Unfortunately, it was bad info.
    I don’t see any reason to doubt that Tenet had given the Bush information, in the summer of 2001 that AlQuaeda was planning a big attack on the US and the Bush administration ignored it. The 911 Commission report as well as accountings by Richard Clarke back up this claim.

19. Just a shameless coward who had kissed the butts of his bosses to the extent of denial and to the day he got glorified with Bush’s award to him as one of the 3 receipants for the nation’s highest civilian honor.

    Maybe, he’s now. like Libby, coming to his senses that he’s nothing else but a used footstool and a scapegoat!
    Tenet Politics as exposed in 2004:
    http://www. cnn. com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/06/03/tenet. resigns/index. html

    Never could respect anyone who can’t always be honest, but wants only to tell the truth after a long wait and after he/she realizes he’s really being used!

    I guess it’d not be surprising that there are a lot of hogwash characters, like Tenet, under the Bush Gang control! Guess, it’d be a lesson learned for them to see that lies don’t help and sooner or later the truth will be out. And waiting too long to tell the truth might jeopardize the cowards’ image in the future and makes them look like ‘a liar who is not going to be believed even if he tells the truth’

20. He is trying to restore his reputation by blaming others for his own mistakes. He feels the President is vulnerable now and he is using it to his own advantage. Once again, people not owning up to their own mistakes.

21. Perplexed, you are very, very smart. (even though you are a liberal heh,heh) Tenet is the one that gave Bush the false intel, but does he take responsibility at all? I’m not blaming the entire thing on Tenet but. . . . . . . he must be responsibile for something, right?
