Reply #21: Bush is sending a message, BFEE-style.

[Octafish]

Did Tenet get canned because of Cha-Cha-Chalabi-Neocon leak? Was Chalabi the spy case that broke the DCI’s backsides?

There's been a lot of chatter lately about all the leaks out of the CIA that have done wonders to torpedo the BFEE:

* Chalabi
* Plame Grand Jury
* No WMD Intel

It seems to me Bush decided to dump Tenet and install some super-loyal BFEE mastermind in the job. The job of fooling the sheep, stealing the election, winning the illegal and immoral war, wasn't getting done with the super-loyal George Tenet.

Maybe the BFEE's tossing him overboard was meant to do more than feed the fish. Maybe it was meant to warn the sharks.

And in dumping Tenet, Bushco can bring in someone even more, um, loyal (beholden) to the BFEE. Maybe the new DCI will be the giant turd reported on DU today, the HARKEN Energy Harvard boosting CIA 9-11 Put-Option loving bed-wetter, Buzzy Krongard.

Naming Krongard would instill fear in the BFEE's primary nemesis: the CIA higher-ups who actually believe in, and are loyal to, the Constitution. With Krongard, or whatever new BFEE superturd gets the job would know THEIR days are numbered.

Bush's lips may be moving, but it's the BFEE that's sending a message. He's telling the career CIA he doesn't care what they think. Sure, they can leak. But remember what happened to Valerie Plame and her network. The same could happen to them, or worse.

Remember what happened to Kenny Lay's Old Number 2, Cliff Baxter? The new guy, whether its the gold-plated megaturd Krongard or whoever, will bring the hammer of America's Dictator, the Little Turd from Crawford. No matter who it is, we're in for a long, hard slog to November.
