WTF Is It Now?!?

"And if I were in Tenet's shoes right now, I'd be very unhappy with pResident Bush for not having given him more authority, more support, in the years since 9/11 happened."

Heh
CNN's DARYN KAGAN: Your reaction to George Tenet's news?

ADMIRAL STANSFIELD TURNER, FORMER CIA DIRECTOR: This is too significant a move at too important a time in the electoral history of our country for this to be just a personal move on the part of Tenet.

KAGAN: So you're not buying the idea that George Tenet goes to George Bush and says, "I'm resigning for personal reasons?" You think he's either a scapegoat or you think he's being pushed out?

TURNER: I think he's being pushed out and made a scapegoat. That is, that the president feels he's got to have somebody to blame, and he's doing it indirectly by asking Tenet to leave.

KAGAN: On the other hand, we heard George Tenet, and we're look at video there of him appearing before a number of congressional hearings, where he says, as we've heard other top administration officials say, the buck stops here. He is responsible for what happens in his agency. And there has been a number of mistakes.

So why can't this just be a man standing up for the job performed underneath his leadership?

TURNER: Tenet has demonstrated over the years, not only at the CIA, but in the Congress as a staffer, that he is very loyal to his superiors, and he has been to President Clinton, and now to president Bush.

I don't think he would pull the plug on Bush in the middle of an election cycle without having been asked by the president to do that.
