Tenet: “Woe Is ME!”

Tenet: “Woe Is ME!”

Tuesday, May 01, 2007 1:39 PM

The guy ALWAYS had the ME complex.  Just about everything was about “him”.  Sitting,  standing, pacing around, wringing his hands, “What if I make a mistake?  What will ‘they’ think about me?”.

Such a GOMER.  Never did like the guy.  NOW he comes  out with “stuff”.  Highly suspect.  Motivations?  Money, as usual.  Aren’t the Leftinistra against money?  Or is it that they are against Conservatives having money?  Hmm?

Andrew C McCarthy at National Review Online has a few choice comments.

“…Al Qaeda was headquartered in Afghanistan, not Iraq, so the evidence of Saddam’s assistance to the terror network is less blatant. But the principle is the same. Let’s pretend for a moment that there were no unresolved issues about Iraq and 9/11 — no possible meeting between Mohamed Atta and an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague in April 2001; no Ahmed Hikmat Shakir (an Iraqi intelligence operative) at the January 2000 Kuala Lampur meeting involving two of the 9/11 hijackers. That is, let’s pretend 9/11 never happened. There would still be the little matter of Iraq aiding and abetting al Qaeda. That is what the invasion of Iraq was about — the Bush Doctrine: You’re with us or you’re with the terrorists … especially if there’s good reason to think you might share WMDs with the terrorists (and remember Tenet told the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2002 that CIA believed Iraq and al Qaeda were working together on both WMDs and conventional weapons)…”

“…This talk by Tenet and his cohort about whether Iraq had a role in 9/11 is a red herring. We don’t know that Iraq was uninvolved in 9/11, but we do know Iraq was involved with al Qaeda. The fact that other regimes, like Iran, may be even more involved with al Qaeda than Iraq is an argument for addressing those regimes, not for leaving Saddam in power…”
