The Fix is In: Colin Quinn blaming Tenet for Iraq
"It's a slam dunk" is what they are saying that Tenet misled Bush with.

Of course, we know Bush/Cheney/Neocons were only looking for plausible deniability for the invasion.

And the Neocons, they already got what they wanted, what do they need Bush for anymore?

We got Fucked. We got robbed and fucked and its going to be denied. Those who are really responsible will avoid blame.

1. Colin Quinn...
Doesn't speak for the nation. I don't have a lot of love for that guy. He's unwatchable.

6. I guess I'm saying that it conclusive that Tenet is the Official Fall Guy
for Iraq, even though the Bushies clearly wanted the Iraq invasion since Clinton.

3. I have never seen Colin Quinn utter anything but ....
rightwing B*llsh*t. It's like he's the Republican party's comedic propanda machine.

It won't work. We DUers know that this administration was determined to invade before they even got into office.

The only thing that they are mad about is that there wasn't something big out there that justified their stupid, deadly moves.

4. Most Americans will still blame Bush for Iraq. He's president after all.

5. I agree that this will be the main RNC talking point for the
next few days. The question for me is why will Tenet allow it? (I don't think he will bite back) Fear? Payoff? Involvement in something so big (L/MIHOP) that the whole mess of them have no choice but to stick together?

8. I think you have it, there
sticking together.....I couldn't figure out what they have on him to get him to fold so utterly

Pincus said he had a chance to defend himself before the Senate committee back in March, but DIDNT EVEN TRY!!!!

you know there's something VERY VERY funny going on here

what you said above makes the only sense I've seen so far

what else could it be?

9. Mort Sahl should go on there and just kick his ass

10. >>>
That show is garbage. If Artie Lange is pontificating on anything other than a Dirty Work sequel it can't be taken seriously.

11. Tenet was never in the neocon circle
He takes the fall, they cover their asses. All simple enough.
