There is something fishy about George Tenet. He has begun his public appearances to publicize his tell-all book “At the Center of the Storm: My Years at the CIA.” Tenet is basically lining up on the Democratic Party side pertaining to the invasion of Iraq.
My first reaction is: What in the world was President Bush retaining an intelligence Director from the Clinton Administration. That was dumb.
My second reaction is: Tenet is telling a different story in his book than what he told Congressional hearings that led to the invasion of Iraq. That makes Tenet a liar who does not want history to blame him if the Democrats write the history books.
Tenet originated the expression that it was a “slam dunk” that there were Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in Saddam’s Iraq. There is even an implication that the lack of finding WMD was a cover-up (by unknown agencies or people) because lack of military man power allowed Saddam loyalists, Syria or Russia to covertly extricate the WMD. That would be a screw-up that Tenet would probably be aware of.
Victor Davis Hanson castigates Tenet on differences from book and public statements of record pertaining to al Qaeda involvement in Saddam’s Iraq.
Thanks to Sandy Berger (Clinton’s Chief of Staff) shredding classified documents that never made it to the pertinent commissions, Thus inaccurate conclusions was made pertaining to WMD and al Qaeda involvement.
