Remarks as prepared for delivery by CIA Director Tenet |
2004-02-05 |
Here are opening lines from Tenetâs speech at Georgetown U. this AM. Click on the headline to read the whole thing. I donât want to excerpt it because he builds his case and chooses his language very carefully. We all have a stake in what happens (or not) in the CIA so itâs worth the effort to read it and think about whether we agree or not ...I have come here today to talk to youâand to the American peopleâabout something important to our nation and central to our future: how the United States intelligence community evaluated Iraqâs weapons of mass destruction programs over the past decade, leading to a National Intelligence Estimate in October of 2002. I want to tell you about our information and how we reached our judgments. I will tell you what I thinkâhonestly and directly. |

#3 Having read his whole speech, George did about as well as expected given the circumstances. Even though he gave it his best shot in explaining his and CIA's actions leading to the NIE, I still think he ought to resign. In any case, when this speech is regurgitated by the pundits, it is worth noting that any politicizing the Iraq WMD problem to make Bush/Cheney look bad can come back and bite the Dems if they ever get back in WH. How credible would a Dem foreign policy towards Iran or NK if it is based on CIA-provided intel? Eleanor Clift said on the McLaughlin report this weekend that a generation would have to pass before any other country would believe US intel (Of course she was grinning when she said it) |

#1 Pop by CNN Headline News and register your vote in their dipshit poll which disingenuously asks if, after what Tenet has said about the intelligence situation, "Should the US have gone to war in Iraq?" Wotta buncha maroon moonbats. It's time to start making a mockery of their polling mockery. RB Contest. Complete this statement: CNN sucks so much that... |
