George Tenet resigns, the day after...
It is announced that Chimpy is lawyering up, because of the Plame investigation.

You know, there really are very few real coincidences in the world.

You know?

My take: Tenet had all he could take. He had reached the point of sufficiency.

1. Chimp Boy asked him to take the blame one more time
Tenet took it on the chin for 911

Tenet took it on the chin for Iraq WMDs

Tenet said "Fuck You Chimpy...I ain't going to jail for your dud ass"

4. The shit is about to hit the fan
There is no question that Chalabi is a double agent. His detractors were the C.I.A., and the State Dept. Chalabi's "groupies" are Pearle, Fiefth, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the evil one, Cheney. Bush, as usual, is out of the loop. As an aside, doesn't the idiot president remind you of Cauncey Gardener in the movie "Being There"? Anyway, Chalabi certainly leaked sensitive info to Iran (axis of evil). This begs the question "where did he get it"? Next, Val Plame was certainly outed. Only someone close to the idiot could have done it. The cracks are appearing all through the administration. These crimes are defined in the U.S. Constitution under treason. I knew this administration could make me a Conservative after all. I'm starting to think we should have a death penalty for capitol offenses.

7. I cringe slightly when I hear the Chauncey Gardner...
...comparision. Chauncey wasn't a spoiled, self-serving, greedy brat of a privileged family. He just innocently and ignorantly wandered into lofty positions through no fault of his own.

To call Bush "out of the loop" pretty much excuses his wrong-doings. That makes me uncomfortable.

8. If it means removing the neocons...
...and Talibornagain from the seats of power well into my childrens adulthood, I could live with Bush "getting off" on 1 term as US President and a place in history as "Stupidest and Worst President Either, Saddled with Poor Judgement that made him a friend to Traitors and Terrorists". He can stay out of jail if it means the rest of them STAY OUT OF POWER. Don't forget, MOST OF THESE ASSHOLES have BEEN THERE BEFORE, and THEY F*KED it up THEN too, and as a DIRECT RESULT, we have the problems we now face today. Quit giving lifelong f*ckups places of power just because they are rich and white.

6. I'm hoping ...

I'm hoping that George Tenent starts singing soon before the election. If ANYONE knows the dirt on the WMD intelligence manipulation, it's George Tenent.

This may be the start of people FLEEING the Bush administration for cover. They do seem to be coming apart. Rumsfeld will be next!!!!!!

10. It won't be Tenet singing...it will be his team that resigns with him
Edited on Thu Jun-03-04 05:37 PM by FreakinDJ
and the tune will be sweet to the ears.

Tenet will be handed a highly paid position as CEO of some defense or security contracting firm to keep his allegiance. One of Tenets underlings will be the one doing the writing and singing

11. Tenet Resigns??? Like O'Neil did?
I find it odd that the wording of the Tenet resignation is almost the
same as the wording that was requested by the Appointee's Administration
for O'Neils.
Too bad the Big T didn't have the backbone to say no like the Big O.

Of course I could be wrong and just all paranoid but...
1. this is the NeoCon Godhead we are speaking of and
2. I am starting to think like most of the rest of you guys that there
is no such thing as coincidences anymore.

Sad but True.
