GEORGE TENET: One of the things I hope we get around to doing is, we've got to look forward. We can keep looking back, but we've got to figure out as a country how we're going to unite, how we're going to stop finger-pointing and thinking through how, as Americans, we do the best we can to get all those kids home as fast as we can.

:puke:

1. That's the Republicans answer to all their illegalities and wrongdoing...

"Stop looking back, it does no good! Just look forward to a brighter future! Forgive, forget! Let's work together to correct the mess we've created!"

I tried this defense in court once. Judges don't buy it either.

2. If those who misled are still in charge, then it is essential to look back -

to learn from mistakes - and especially, to get rid of those who misled so badly! Amazing this crap about moving forward....

[sellitman]

3. Yep....we Impeached Clinton....time to Move On.

:wtf:

Damn hypocrites!

4. That's rich...

And what's this "get all those kids home" crap? The troops aren't "kids" and I find it insulting that they're referred to that way!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

5. This is equivelant to - Tenet says "ok, I drove drunk and ran the old woman over and she died, but

stop pointing fingers and moveon."


One has to be held accountable for felonies.

6. We fucking shine the light of truth on the whole thing -

of course they want to look forward, becasue if we look back, we'll find them guilty of, good God, I don't know how to describe it, guilty of treason but to what extent is still unclear.

7. So a guy robs a 7-11..gets $54.. the cops meet him in the parking lot

He hands them the bag of loot, and says" Hey, let's look forward..let bygones be bygones.. "

Sure.. that'll work if you are a 17 yr old kid or a homeless person..and just about ANYONE...unless you happen to be a republican..and you stole tons of money and/or got people killed:grr:

8. SURE, Mr Child Molester

once you've stopped your involuntary kicking while hanging from that lampost, we'll be glad to start looking forward, and healing our children.. :)

Disclaimer: Not aimed at Mr Tenent of course, just any old Child molester, this is a Fantasy which no one, inluding myself, has any means or will to carry out, much like the Slam Dunk was..

9. As in: STOP INVESTIGATING! Funny, from the "Law and Order" Party.

[radfringe]

10. does that mean no one will be held responsible?

no accountability? just sweep it under the rug? bury it in a hole? flush it down the toilet? ignore it and hope it goes away?

just my 2-cents - part of the reason this whole thing has grown so messy is that there has been no accountability, no one being held responsible.

11. STFU Tenet -- your guilt is as obvious as the blood spilling

in Iraqi streets.

[Kahuna]

12. Up yours George. It's a little late to find religion now...

You reek like the rest of them.

[Hubert Flottz]

13. If we forgive the republicans for all their crimes then...

let's free every prisoner in America.

When they agree to that, I'll agree to forget the things they have done.

[Solly Mack]

14. The cry of the guilty

Nothing but
