12/12/04 - Shrub awards Tenet Medal of Freedom, come help

[BR_Parkway]

us celebrate the first anniversary of the highest civilian award in the nation being presented to the man who got all that intelligence wrong. If it was all wrong and ShrubCo didn't lie us into war, why hasn't he asked for the Medal back?

The medal is the highest civilian award and recognizes exceptional meritorious service.

President Truman established the medal in 1945 to recognize notable service in the war. In 1963, President Kennedy began awarding it as an honor for distinguished civilian service in peacetime.

Tenet retired from the CIA this year after seven years as director under Bush and former President Clinton. He became one of Bush's closest advisors after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and it was his intelligence that fueled the urgency of the war in Iraq.

But he has been criticized for intelligence failures before Sept. 11 and the never-proven prewar allegations that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Tenet assured the Bush administration about Iraq's apparently non-existent chemical and biological weapons stocks. He was quoted as saying, "it's a slam dunk."

You're doing a great job there, Bushie

2. No, but it's the one part no one questions when they start spinning

"oh, it was bad intelligence and we can't go back, we need to stay the course" BS meme

If the intelligence was bad, did Shrub give Tenet the highest honor to

1. keep his mouth closed about things Shrub would rather keep hidden or
   
2. prove just how incompetent a Prez he is by rewarding failure once again?
