So did Tenet listen to Al Gore?

[wndycty]

:kick:

[theboss]

1. What did Gore tell Tenet?

"You are truly horrible at your job and should quit."

[wndycty]

3. He called him a friend but. . .

. . .said he should resign.

[theboss]

4. Oh, that's right

But Gore is just one of a million voices to demand that this jagoff leave.

[JI7]

2. i hope so

[JI7]

5. it will depend on what George Tenet does

if he defends the administration then it probably didn't have much to do with gore but more about being the one to take the blame for the entire administration.

if he tells the truth about the administration then i think it will be more because of Gore.

[rogue emissary]

6. Gore's relevance

It seems he's not as out in left field, as many of the pundits wrote him off.

"George Tenet should also resign. I want to offer a special word about George Tenet, because he is a personal friend and I know him to be a good and decent man. It is especially painful to call for his resignation, but I have regretfully concluded that it is extremely important that our country have new leadership at the CIA immediately." -Al Gore

7. maybe...tenet KNOWs when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em

now, tenet is in a real different position to TESTIFY against bush* as a private citizen....

this move does several things for tenet....

1. he keeps his retirement benefits (which he doesn't if fired).

2. he jumps off bush* sinking ship early, thereby, maybe, keeping himself OUT OF PRISON (because tenet KNOWS how all this plea-bargaining works, he does it everyday with criminals). Tenet KNOW that others are already pointing fingers and plea bargaining. And like the nixonian criminals...the ones who got out EARLY and pointed fingers did well...the others get stuck holding the bag, and went to prison...so many went to prison, up to and INCLUDING the nixon's ATTORNEY GENERAL, john mitchell (haha, imagine asscroft going to a Federal Prison !)

3. tenet could end up looking good...a true American Patriot...the one who STOOD UP and broke the criminal white house cabal....in his retirement, tenet certainly could write several best-selling books, go on celebrity cruises, make millions giving speeches...life is good ! tenet KNOWs that if he hangs on the bush* sinking ship to the end, he probably would go to prison, be disgraced, and lose all his retirement....

10. He had better avoid canoes.

[Hamlette]

he is also perfectly positioned to be the fall guy

which is more likely than that he will be seen as a hero, imho.

as long as Tenent served, Bush couldn't say it was all Tenet's fault, now he can.

I'm not defending Tenent, although I think he and the CIA are MUCH cleaner on the Iraq mess than the WH, but I don't want Bush to get out of it.

[diamond14]

15. several times bush* blamed tenet....openly...and tenet could not

say anything about it....

bush* DID say it was all tenet's fault....including bush* WAR, the LIES, powell's UN speech (where tenet was seated right behind powell as if to give credance to powell's lies).....also, tenet had to cover for bush* in the 9/11 testimony, as a subject of bush*, he couldn't say otherwise...had to say what bush* demanded....


tenet testifying as a private citizen is quite difference....tenet can say what he wants and IMO, he'll give it to bush* with BOTH BARRELS....

tenet's resignation is the POLICAL PLAY OF THE WEEK, maybe the POLITICAL PLAY OF THE YEAR....

8. Well

Gore did appeal to his better nature, didn't he?

My God what I think is horrible is that now we really are wide open for another terrorist attack and the new goon they appoint as head of the CIA won't be held accountable.

Bush will be appointing the new CIA head. Just remember that.

[nostamj]

13. "Bush will be appointing the new CIA head"

ONLY if he steals the election.

an 'acting' director until November...

[Kahuna]

9. Apparently he did.. Funny how crazy ol' Al Gore is always..

ahead of the curve on these things. Yeah, he's crazy. Like a fox.

[Alerter_]

11. Al Gore, Crazy ... like a Fox

I like it :)

[Kahuna]

12. I always say, Al Gore is a brilliant man. But a lousy politician. Yet,

He would have made a magnificent president. Makes me misty just thinking about it.

[diamond14]

14. watch the whole bush* cabal collapse soon...it's just like nixon

once a few of the BIG rats jump ship...lots of the 'little' rats figure that they better jump too....

at the end, nixon was all alone, and whining about it too....nixon was obviously drunk on TV addressing the Nation at the end....all his rats had jumped ship and those who wouldn't jump were going to PRISON...up to AND including nixon's attorney general, john mitchell (who claimed that he was forced to do it because his crazy wife Martha drove him to it)....

bush* White House must be totally insane and in disarray...everybody probably spending all their work time papershredding, talking to their own lawyers, and looking at who THEY can blame....

there was never a loyal following for bush*....all his reTHUGlicans were simply in it for themselves, very selfish people with NO community values....

stay tuned...it's nixon and Vietnam regurgitated...we know the ending...

[Beam Me Up]

16. I really do believe Gore's speech was a shot across the bow

. . .an unprecedented moment in American history. Has an elected but uninstalled President ever called for the RESIGNATION of almost the entire Cabinet of the installed but unelected pResident?

We're in DEEP political waters here. There is much more going on than meets the eye (or is shown to us by the media), IMO.

[wndycty]

17. Kick

:kick:

[mithnanthy]

18. Yes

I think Al Gore DID have an influence on his friend Tenet...telling him to do the right thing.

[diamond14]

19. President Gore to his friend tenet....

jump ship NOW....all hell's breaking loose in the bush* cabal....and I want to save YOU from prison....

so go NOW...it's YOUR only chance to save yourself....


IMO, tenet jumped off bush* sinking ship to save himself and he will soon STAND UP to the bush* criminal cabal....

watch for many many other bush* rats to jump off the ship SOON, trying to save themselves and following the lead of the BIG rat...it'll be a mass exodus as the NUMEROUS investigations continue and people are frog-marched off to Federal Prison....
