Didn't George Tenant tell Bush that there were no WMD

[Blue_Roses]

before he invaded Iraq or at least the intelligence didn't show any?

Why is this question asked in such slow motion? I know I've read a ton of threads discussing this...so why, doesn't someone speak up?

1. I don't think so

thats why he's in trouble now

2. If I remember

correctly Shrub was told not to include some of the things he wanted to say in a speech, I think, some time in Sept of 03. He refrained from doing that but then included it (was it Dec.?) Tenent looked over the Sept speech and told him not to use it. I suppose Tenent thought Shrub had enough sense not to use it in Dec. Ha Ha. Tenent is nuts if he lets him get by with this. Now I may be completely off base on that. If someone else has information let's hear it.

4. Bush only listens to his girlfriend Cheney.

Bush is too Dumb to listen to a smart person like Tenant.
All the more reason to get Kerry in the White House

5. Also, Cheney went down to CIA headquarters to pressure them to recant

So much obfuscation and prevaricating that the public is kept thoroughly and permanently confused.

3. he told robert byrd, who told everyone who would listen

sorry but i still get a little goosebumpy when i think of the day they voted on iwr, listening to byrd.
he said he had tenent in his office, and asked him was there anything new, anything happening, any weapons that we didn't give them in the 80's. he said tenent's answer was NO.

6. Doesn't this sound like he did?

FEBURARY 24, 2003 – CIA WARNS WHITE HOUSE ‘NO DIRECT EVIDENCE’ OF WMD: "A CIA report on proliferation released this week says the intelligence community has no ‘direct evidence’ that Iraq has succeeded in reconstituting its biological, chemical, nuclear or long-range missile programs in the two years since U.N. weapons inspectors left and U.S. planes bombed Iraqi facilities. ‘We do not have any direct evidence that Iraq has used the period since Desert Fox to reconstitute its Weapons of Mass Destruction programs,’ said the agency in its semi-annual report on proliferation activities."

7. well here ya go...

why isn't something being said about this? More to come I'm sure...just getting started looking this morning

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this whole thing out though...Chris Matthewss was saying just last night that Tenant was buddies with the both Bushes.
