Now Bush is blaming the CIA?!?!
He's blaming the CIA for bad info on Iraq's Non Nuclear capabilities! Doesn't this guy take responsibility for ANYTHING? And the American people are going to believe this lie. Really pisses me off. Once again, where are the Dems? Totally spineless!

3. I'd like to know that too
The seminal evidence - the letter - has been proven fake, but now they claim they have "other evidence" - which they won't share! Sounds to me like they're trying to cover their butts because *they* didn't fight to keep Blair from using the fake evidence as Tenet did here. Just my guess.

2. The dems are waiting
... until after the hearings. They know since that Dick Cheney gave the CIA a direct order to confirm the uranium lead, that the state department also KNEW that the information was forged.

Either way, the ADministration willingly put forged information into the state of the union adress; With or without Tenet's approval.

4. I believe if he had been able to get it taken out
this time they would have slipped it right back in without telling him.

5. Hate to say I told ya so
But if they are going according to game plan they are going to call for a major shuffling of the CIA structure. This will undermine the coming uproar over the 9/11 report due out soon. They will point the blame for anomalies in the report on the now discredited CIA.

6. Why do something he's not familiar with.
Bush has never been held resposible for anything in his entire life, why should he start now. When he couldn't get into law school in Texas
at a public university no less, his family name got him into an Ivy League college. He "earned" an MBA but has never had a successful business, he was never held resposible for his dealings while he was
with Harkin. He made 14,000,000 on a 2,000,000 dollar investment on a stadium for the Texas Rangers, and we all know how successful that venture turned out to be for the people of that Texas city. He left Texas with a deficit, and is always blaming things on someone else.
Just like other dictators and tyrants in history, nothing is ever Shrub's fault. I bet they executed that bag of pretzels that he choked on.

7. I heard
That he actually only had to put up $50,000 of his own money for the Rangers deal.

9. It's the CIA's fault...
No, it's the BRITS, yeah see, the Brits lied to Tenet and it's HIS fault cuz he believed 'em, but see the French withheld intel so it's really their fault and I heard somewhere the Italians may have a line in on who forged the shit in the first place soo you see it's EVERYBODY ELSE'S FAULT and *dauphin just misspoke. An honest mistake, seeeee????

10. Blaming the CIA?
My goodness me! He may as well be blaming Poppy.

We all knew the papers were forgeries before the Iraq invasion. it wasn't Tenet's "fault" that Bush & Co. still went ahead anyway.

The buck is permantly stalled at George's crayon and coloring-book cluttered desk.
