This was a massive failure from the top down. I'm disturbed that you think thats how I see it. Of course it was a massive failure from the top down. It's been a massive failure for many many years. Tenet was a source Bush relied on to provide accurate intel and he has failed miserably at it since he was appointed by Clinton in 1997. Tenet should have been fired by Bush at least 2 years ago. Now maybe we can get a CIA Director with some competency. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,148 #6 June 3, 2004 QuoteI'm glad he resigned. We are finally rid of another Clinton appointee. Right! Bush is clueless again: "Bush said Tenet had done "a superb job for the American people." "He has been a strong and able leader at the agency," Bush said. "He has been a strong leader in the war on terror and I will miss him."... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What did you want Bush to do, bash him? Oh, I can just hear you now Kallend, if Bush had said something like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,148 #14 June 4, 2004 Quote Now maybe we can get a CIA Director with some competency. I agree. Of course, ill informed people have a contrary opinion: "Bush said Tenet had done "a superb job for the American people." "He has been a strong and able leader at the agency," Bush said.

TomAiello 26 #15 June 4, 2004 Dude, come on. What's he supposed to say? "That guy sucked and I'm glad to be rid of him"? Be realistic. When someone leaves government service (or your dropzone, or your department, or whatever) you stand up and say some nice things about them, even (or perhaps especially) if you despise them. That's just the way things are generally done in polite society.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's just the way things are generally done in polite society. which is of course the nature of politicians, but still doesnt make it right..if your an incompetent fool, a stellar performer, or even a mediocre wage earner, facts remain the same, either you did well or no.. candy coated speeches help nothing but egos...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
