How long will the CIA take all the blame?
I understand GHWB's past and all, but is the "intelligence community" really willing to take the fall for shrubs policy?

Day after day, crappy cable news channel after crappy cable news channel repeats the WH message... "bad intelligence".

Is it part of the job to eat all the sh*t they can shove down your throat?

1. Welcome to DU, fellow Masshole!
I doubt the intelligence community will be the fall guy for very long. Once they start corroborating all the evidence from the UK and other foreign intelligence, the blame will be on Shrub's lap.

The Republicans always say they are the party of personal responsibility, but just when have you heard them say they were wrong? Talk about hubris!

GO PATS!!

2. I heard him on the radio saying he wants answers
They must have already paid off someone to take the blame to be taking the calls for investigation so calmly.

3. how many CIA people came forward after the war,
claiming that Cheney was cherry-picking intelligence, and they said it wasn't their fault. I'm sure one of our great journalists will finally remember this, and mention it. NOT

6. dead links
I was surfing the CIA's website, and all the links for testimony or statements from David Kay are dead. So are most any links regarding WMD's.
Click on the Nov. 3rd link http://www.cia.gov/dci/speeches/index.html

And thanks for the welcome RationalRose!
