Maybe Tenet is going to turn on Bush?

[bushgottago]

OK- definitely wishful thinking here - but - if Tenet had gotten tired of being the blame eater and wanted to come out and tell the truth - that the failures was due to president moron - the first thing he would have to do is resign.

Yes - it's a longshot - but just wanted to throw it into the mix.

One thing that I am 100% sure of - whatever the reason - there is a far bigger story here that we know now. It's just a matter of time before the real reason comes out.

1. And...

if his family WAS threatened, he would want revenge, IMCPO.

2. Not if he values his life.

Bad things happen to people who are dangerous to the Bushistas.

4. Maybe

Tenet was the guest speaker at my daughters graduation from Texas A&M. HE gave a nice inspirational speech, but he made a quip at Dubya that he said may get him fired, tongue-in-cheek, of course. Instead of touting Dubya's accomplishments, he spoke of his father, #41. He hardly mentioned the current appointed idiot. Tenet is a very intelligent man. You can bet your a$$ there is something behind this.

5. Kill Tenet or family member and his co-workers will go after the ones who

did it. I think Tenet was probably an OK boss and he probably has some very loyal co-workers. Ben,What do you think?
I like Tenet--something about the guy. You talk about pressure.
George Tenet holds the keys to revealing the whole mess or he can just walk away. Something feels like he is not going to walk away.
He was so relaxed in front of the 9-11 commission and had the expression "oh, another dog and pony show for the American people."
Talk about being the point person for the whole USA.

3. There is some speculation

that he resigned, because he knows he's going to get called to testify in some of the ongoing investigations, and that if he was still the working for the government, he wouldn't be able to be has forthcoming, as he can be now that he is no longer an agent.

Supposedly, loyalty is a big thing for Tenet. They say it didn't matter who was president, that person would have his complete loyalty. However, there comes a point when you have to make a choice between being loyal to your boss or being loyal to your country. I believe Tenet has decided his country comes first. At least I hope that's what's going on.

10. Yours is the only explanation that makes any sense to me.

7. Poor Mr Tenet won't live long enough to turn on Bush

The Bush Criminal Empire has a history of "permanently retiring" ex CIA directors who know their secrets. Just ask Bill Casey and Bill Colby.

11. yes, but not in the manner you think....(transcript of tenet good-bye)

tenet gave the message to his good friends and fellow spooks to take care of this for him...and spooks do know how to get the job done...bush* made a HUGE mistake in this entire matter, and he will pay for it....the CIA will take down bush*'s whole criminal cabal...because just like nixon collapsed over a petty third-rate break-in (where nothing of monetary value was even stolen)....bush* and his criminal enterprise is about to learn that the CIA knows a whole lot more about CRIMES than bush* does...as Hunter Thompson wrote several years ago: in DC, they're going to beat bush badly, like beating a rat in a wastebasket with a broom....


note the message from tenet to his GOOD FRIENDS....and they will get the job done, and bush* won't even know who did it and where it came from, but they will destroy bush* pResidency...

We're going to go to class together"



4. tenet will continue to work with his friends to assure the job gets done....

"The most difficult part of this decision was knowing that I would not be here with you every day in our offices, the cafeteria, conference rooms or the gym but I do hope I have earned a lifetime membership."
