Quotations About Tenet's Resignation
Quotations About Tenet's Resignation

Thu Jun 3, 5:09 PM ET


By The Associated Press

Quotations about the resignation of CIA (news - web sites) Director George Tenet:

___


"George Tenet is the kind of public servant you like to work with. ... He has been a strong and able leader at the agency. He's been a strong leader in the war on terror. And I will miss him." — President Bush (news - web sites).

"He has worked extremely hard on behalf of our nation, and we are grateful for his effort. There is no question, however, that there have been significant intelligence failures, and the administration has to accept responsibility for those failures." — Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), D-Mass., presidential candidate.

---

"George Tenet is a man of integrity and honor whom I respect. Nevertheless, this decision is in the best interest of America. Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) should also resign for the sake of the country, as should Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and Stephen Cambone." — Former Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites).

---

"I don't think it's enough. ... The president won't be able to evade responsibility by having, frankly, somebody appointed by Bill Clinton (news - web sites) resign." Rep. Robert Matsui, D-Calif., head of the House Democratic campaign committee.

3. I like Matsui too
Interesting that Gore called for the whole lot of them to resign, and only expressed regret about Tenet.

And then Tenet resigns.

hmmmm
