George Tenet .... cry me a fucking river, asshat .... you complicit motherfucker .....

[Stinky The Clown]

.... your feigned outrage is unconvincing. You and your asshole buddy, the appropriately named Colin, can just slither off to the swamp together.

You're pathetic.

[MichiganVote]

1. One lousy excsue after another.....absolutely unconvincing

He whines like a serial killer

[Monkeyman]

2. You Sure wink wink

[NYC]

3. What did he say?

I don't have cable, and my television is in the closet. Thanks in advance.

[MichiganVote]

6. He said he is innocent, he said he is concerned, he said he worked hard

In fact everything you can think of to say nice about yourself, he said about himself. Its what he didn't say that matters---he didn't say, and he should have, that Cheney used him and used Powell.

[NYC]

24. Thanks a lot.

I was hoping he would tell the truth about someone (Cheney? Bush?).

[MichiganVote]

28. Too full of himself and prolly hoping to be offered a big corporate job

[Punkingal]

4. Completely arrogant and unrepentant....

He would still be there, protecting their sorry asses if they hadn't thrown him overboard.

[MichiganVote]

8. Excellent way of putting it

[rusty charly]

11. and kept going on about

how hard the last four years have been?

just.

completely.

unbelievable.

[MichiganVote]

14. And then wouldn't name his rat---unbelievable

[NightWatcher]

5. tell me about it. He signs off on the war then "comes clean" and

complains that he was taken out of context, four years after the war has gone on and more than 3333 soldiers have died. How also fucking convenient that he has a book coming out soon.

[MichiganVote]

10. For 4 mill I heard

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. The whole stinking government is full of guys like that.

They screw up, then blame each other. But they're all fuckups -- BushCo has furthered a culture in which incompetent loyalists thrive until they finally mess up so badly that they are thrown under the bus in order to protect Der Chimpenfuehrer. Then they write a book describing how they were abused, but of course everything was fine and dandy as long as they were getting a paycheck, fame and glory for fellating the Pretzeldent. Tenet's story is nothing new, sadly.

[rusty charly]

18. No Tears for George Tenet

No one in the Bush adminstration is a man or woman of honor, period. That word is not in their dictionary. What is despicable is the devastation that this war in Iraq has caused to our country. My only child, Lt Ken Ballard and 3340+ other US soldiers have been sacrificed because Tenet and others wouldn't stand up to the President and tell the country the truth. For 3 years until Tenet signed a book contract, the truth was held close to Tenet's cold heart. How many lives could have been saved had Tenet had the courage to stand up and be the honorable man that he presents himself to be?

It was George Tenet who threw all of our military overboard when he didn't stand up before this country and tell us the truth that there was no planning. George Tenet complains about his loss of reputation, but where is his concern for the loss of life his silence caused?

[calimary]

39. I'm so sorry to hear about your son.

DAMN. Just DAMN. Even ONE life lost to these lies is too much.

IMPEACHMENT is the ONLY way to heal this nation and make sure that your precious boy and all the other beloved ones sacrificed for bush/cheney's greed, ego, and power-lust won't have died in vain. We push onward in the names of the used, the ripped off, the cheated, the lied to, the screwed, the betrayed, and the sacrificed.

bushco WILL rot in Hell, I'm sure, but I'd like to see at least a little punishment meted out to them here on earth in the meantime.

[scarletwoman]

9. Thanks! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! What an egomaniacal turd!

People really need to remember; he still works for the same masters as bush does.

As I posted in another thread, this is ye olde "limited hangout".

12. Don't miss the open letter from 6 former CIA

officers over at CNN. Don't know how to do the linky link thing. Sorry.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Here:

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/29/tenet.letter/index.html

They call him "the Alberto Gonzalez of the intelligence community."

[meg]

13. What a d*ckwad twit Tenet is!!

Could he be anymore self serving?

[emilyg]

15. K&R

[bklyncowgirl]

16. George, If you 'd come out with this before the 2004 election, I could forgive you.

In 2004 George Tenet resigned peacefully and received the Congressional Medal of Freedom. He kept his silence even though he had information that the American people needed to know in order to make an informed decision whether to re-elect George W. Bush.

He is a traitor.

[Stinky The Clown]

17. From out of the blather, for me, came two specific points .......

First, he covered Colin's ass, saying his 'estimate' was honest and well intended, but wrong, and it is the data Colin used to go to the UN. My own contemporaneous recollection is a little different, but if these two weasels wanna cover for each other, have at it. betyween the two of them, the sum total of their integrity quotient is lower than whale shit.

Second, he's using the classic Gonzo excuse for the 16 words in the SOTU speech. He claims he gave the speech to an assistant to review, with directions to 'let me know if there's anything I need to mention to anyone'. In other words, just like Gonzo, good help is hard to find.

Kiss my ass.

[MichiganVote]

20. What I found telling was his claim that Iraq was not "scheduled" to have WMD

until 2007, 2009. He knew he had a made a mistake as soon as he uttered those words. From a political/RNC perspective that's a very interesting reason to take him out b/f the 2006 and 2008 elections.

[DURHAM D]

21. I would like to know the name of the assistant . eom

[tblue37]

27. He can't kiss your ass. He is too busy kissing Bush's ass. (eom)

[liberal renegade]

45. It's not what you knows but who you blows

is more like it............ sorry sonofabitch!

[Usrename]

34. Yeah, sure. NOW he calls Colin's UN testimony an estimate.

But he sat right behind Powell while he presented this pantload of crap to the UN. He was a first-hand witness when Powell assured the UN that none of the information was based on a guess or an "estimate" and that, instead, it was all proven FACTUAL information.

What a couple of criminal bastages.

[Singular73]

22. 60 minutes interview -- This guy is unstable....

Geeze...he became completely unhinged.

If he's always like this...what a fuckwad.

[northofdenali]

23. Colintenet..................

Sounds like someone from your innards that shouldn't be there.

He is so fake, he should be a new Barbie Doll.

[FloridaJudy]

50. That would give little girls nightmares

Imagine finding "George Tenet Barbie" under your Christmas tree.
A perfect companion for the talking Ann Coulter doll.

[bluethruandthru]

25. He told Condi and Al Quaeda was an imminent threat..

but when asked why he didn't go directly to the prez (when Condi paid no attention)..he says, "that's not the way things work"!! S'cuse me? We're about to be attacked and you're worried about office protocol???

[flyarm]

26. hey George , honorable men do not send soldiers to die for a lie!!

and george honorable men stand up when those around them fail to do their job..and they stop hijackings of airlines..even if they get fired doing so..honorable men save lives..

at all costs to themselves!!

Hey George..your inaction killed my co-workers and the lives of 3000 people in NYC on a beautiful sunny morning in September..and many of us will never be the same..no matter how much time goes by..no matter how many excuses you make now..

Hey George..three people i knew died on those planes..

my neighbors son had his life taken ..in the prime of his life..

people in my town lost so many family members..

hey George..go fuck yourself!

you are not an honorable man..

honorable men take a stand and stop mass murder..

you are not honorable George..you are a gutless killer!

fly

( i put this on another post..but crying too much now and too damn mad to retype it..)

[aquart]

31. Yes.

[bluethruandthru]

29. I loved how he defended Valerie Plame...

but where was he when his buddies were leaking her name? I don't remember him making a big fuss about one of his agents being outed and her entire network being dismantled!

[aquart]

32. Or that her job was preventing Osama from getting that bomb.

That he couldn't mention, either.

May he never sleep.

[Marrak]

30. Georgie Tenet...

one complete sniveling mega-asshole!

[Donna Zen]

33. A note from Chalmers Johnson

In his well documented book, Chalmers Johnson's documents that he was onto Tenet long before this week. I offer up this little snip:

Nemesis Chalmers Johnson (98)

After the 9/11 attacks and the Bush administration’s decision to go to war with Iraq, the focus shifted from ignoring unwanted intelligence to actively creating false intelligence that would support is regime-change war of choice. The critical item in the administration’s rush to war was the NIE of October 1, 2002, entitled “Iraq’s Continuing Program for Weapons of Mass Destruction,” which became known inside the agency as the “whore of Babylon.” It explicitly endorsed Vice President Cheney’s contention of August 26, 2002---”We know that Saddam has resumed his efforts to acquire nuclear weapons”---and was signed by DCI George Tenet with “high confidence.” “The intelligence process,” wrote CIA veteran analyst Ray McGovern, “was not the only thing undermined. So was the Constitution.”

Tenet's history has always puzzled me. He came up with Sen. John Hienz, and in those early days Tenet's emphasis was the environment. Later he would work for Democrats. Then this...joining the asses of evil. Bad choices have consequences.

The whore of Babylon indeed.

[flyarm]

35. look George knew all about the NEW WORLD ORDER..he knew

all about MKULTRA..he knew how many children in this countries lives had been destroyed by MKULTRA..

it was on the discovery channel yesterday about the CIA and MKULTRA..he knew we were destroying countries for NAFTA and the new world order..he knew what these * bastards were all about..he knew what congress people were involved..he knew who in this white house planned to destroy our constitution and make this country into a fascist state..he knew..he was part of it!!

so now he wants to cry a fucking river..when he ..is and was complicit in the hundreds of thousands of human lives snuffed out..

fuck him..i hope he rots in a very very hot hell!!

fly

[Donna Zen]

36. Yep. George Tenet, head of the Praetorian Guard

The CIA works for the president. The committees were created by the Church Commission to try and reign them in. It hasn't worked. There is no accountability....hell, they are not even audited and it's our money.

I honest to god have no idea how we're going to get a handle on this mess. I just know that if we don't, we will be destroyed from within.

[The Doctor.]

37. I can't agree enough.

These assholes are pretending to be victims.

I wonder if Powell owns a ritual blade. After all the young men and women he sent to their deaths...

[Donna Zen]

38. Powell!

Ha! Powell kept his mouth shut when he wasn't shilling for bush at the UN. Imagine, the author of the Powell Doctrine makes nary a peep while these weasels plan a war that breaks every rule that he set.

Does being a millionaire absolve one of sins?

[Grandrose]

40. George could be scared!!!

Maybe Tenet would rather be scorned and made the fool than have this happen:

COBB ISLAND, Maryland (CNN) -- Search crews are combing the muddy waters of the Wicomico River and helicopters are scouring the area in a search for former CIA director William Colby.

:yoiks:

[flyarm]

41. and Casey died 2 days before he was supposed to testify about iran/contra! eom

[Stinky The Clown]

46. Shhhhh ..... no one's supposed to remember that.

[mitchum]

42. He's just another Albert Speer

I agree; he is pathetic

[Honeycombe8]

43. Ditto. What a scumbag. Shameful he was head of the CIA. nt

[Lugnut]

44. A-frickin-men!

K&R Gag me.

[creeksneakers2]

47. Tenet met Bush every morning

That means Tenet either lied to Bush or Bush was told everything was a lie and Tenet is covering up for Bush.

[LuckyLib]

48. Tenet behaved in the interview like the lying, snivelling, arrogant, huffy, loud bastard he is.

He meets with the chimp every day and never once says, "This isn't going to work. You need to know this." Then, when no one listens, he resigns and speaks out. You didn't do that Georgie. You get no sympathy from any of us. You're screwn.

[Kool Kitty]

49. And how about the answers to the questions about

torture? Lying, whiny son of a bitch.

[Vinca]

51. If Tenet thinks he was rehabilitating his image, he's very, very wrong.

He came across as a guy pimping a book to make lots of money and nothing else.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

52. Let second that...

I had to turn off the last few minutes of the interview because I couldn't stand it any more.

What a pile of self-serving claptrap! Let's be clear on something. Thousands of Americans, civilians and soldiers, are dead today because George Tenet is jaw-droppingly incompetent. He not only wouldn't share information with the FBI, he wasn't able to get the POTUS to listen to the obvious warnings.

While an ignorant POS. History won't judge him kindly.
