KRUGMAN: "Bush lied us into war. Let’s repeat that: he lied us into war."

[RVN VET]

82. Surely you're not suggesting that George Tenet

You'r not suggesting that George Tenet, then the head of the C.I.A., was willingly and knowingly cooking the books for Bush-Cheney and actually knew that the "slam dunk" he guaranteed Bush was, to extend the metaphor, really an air ball?

Not Georgie, the winner of the Freedom medal (or whatever it's called)?

Scott Ridder found out, first hand, just how sad and low Bush and the rest of the vermin in his Administration would stoop to get even with a bothersome truth teller -- and John Ashcroft is rotting in hell as i write this for the poop-slinging he did against Ridder whose only "crime" was telling the truth and desperately trying to get a hearing before thousands were killed in a war based on lies. And of course Joe Wilson found out how nasty and vile Bush and his buddies could become when he called them out on that ridiculous yellow-cake lie. To his damnation, eternal and painful I hope, Tenet was quiet about it, meek, mousey, quiet; ball-lessly, gutlessly quiet. Valerie Plame lost her career, and all of her informants on the ground in Iran, and elsewhere, were placed in extreme jeopardy of dying because Bush-Cheney wanted to punish Wilson.

Under Tenet, the CIA became a willing servant of the Bush-Cheney Administration. The most dishonorable head of the CIA in history became a panting lap-dog to the most despicable Administration in history.
