1. Yep, Rove will want to spend more time with his family
but he's still training Cheney in the Dark Arts.

8. Rove training Cheney?
That's like Adolf Hitler training Josef Stalin!

They all have blood up to their elbows and I'm certain that more than a few have a few Cayman Island bank accounts.

3. Never happen
Rove won't ever leave BUsh's side. Same with Karen Hughes.

4. Rove
won't quit-he's tasted too much power to just up and walk away.

6. My greek uncle met with George Tenet a few weeks ago...
He is after all a Greek-American, as am I. My uncle is the repesentative of the Missing People from the war between Cyprus and Turkey (1974). He met with Tenet and told me that Tenet has tried to resign 3 times in the past 4 years, but Bush would not hear of it.

9. Bush can't
stop anyone from resigining if they want to go badly enough-all you have to do is pack your stuff and WALK; you don't need Dubya's permission. Who died and made him God, anyway?

10. Appointing a Republican Congressman as head of CIA
"...House Intelligence Committee Chairman Porter Goss, R-Fla., a former CIA agent and McLaughlin."

Doesn't the head of the CIA have to be approved by the Senate?
Can we please NOT have a Republican in charge of intelligence?

12. Powell should have been first. Maybe this will give him the courage..
to do the right thing.

13. Two words - UH OH!
A couple of negative thoughts here, so bear with me.

1) Bush thought he'd take him out now to stick the new administration with someone they didn't want.

2) Wanted to go through the nomination process smack dab in our Convention. If we stand in the way too aggressively, they'll squeal that we don't have the national security at heart (since we're looking for the seven now).

3) Tenet doesn't care about Chalabi - he hated him, but he does care about Plame and a new round of terror attacks - BIG TIME.

Overall, I feeling queasy about this ride we're going to be on for the next few months.

15. Depends on how much Tenet has to say.
I think Tenet DID actually resign, but because he saw they were going to hang the whole mess on him! I guess Shrub promised to protect him...for a while...but Tenet is a smart guy and he saw through the deception.

If I'm right, and Tenet talks, Cheney will leave for health reasons (Plame), Powell will resign because he doesn't like Washington, Rummy will decide he's too old for this shit.......
