Perle is Angry About Iraq! Wants Tenet's Head on a Platter...
http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1077059707877&call_pageid=968332188854&col=968350060724


<"George Tenet has been at the CIA long enough to assume responsibility for its performance," Perle told reporters, referring to the director of the agency. "There's a record of failure and it should be addressed in some serious way."

"The CIA has an almost perfect record of getting it wrong in relation to the (Persian) Gulf going back to the Shah of Iran," Perle said. He called for "a shakeup" in the U.S. intelligence establishment.

"I think, of course, heads should roll," he said. "When you discover that you have an organization that doesn't get it right time after time, you change the organization, including the people.

I'd start with the head head," Perle said when asked which heads should roll at the CIA. Perle said the DIA " is in at least as bad shape as CIA (and) needs new management.">

...Hmmm, No mention of OSP and Chalabi here. It will be interesting to see the reaction from the CIA over this.

4. Thanks for posting

"I think, of course, heads should roll," he said. "When you discover that you have an organization that doesn't get it right time after time, you change the organization, including the people.


This includes the resident of the white house and all his retreads.

Time after time they lie, they don't get it right...we need a change and the white house needs to be fumigated...let's call in Delay since hopefully, he will be back to his old job.

6. this is truly an astounding display of the utmost arrogance, isn't it?
what can one SAY?

they established OSP precisely in order to get their own lousy, stinking, mendacious version of reality STRAIGHT through to chimp, visa Cheney's office

EVERYbody knows that now. Who doesn't?

It's just a matter of making it official, if they dare to speak the truth in any of these myriad committees, commissions.

words fail

is Tenet so craven that he won't defend himself in the face of this direct onslaught, in the face of mountainous evidence of Perle, Feith, Rum, Cheney, etal, and their own culpability in this CRIMINAL fiasco?

9. I think this proves that the neocons are scared...
Edited on Wed Feb-18-04 12:53 PM by leftchick
I mean really scared their PNAC dream is crumbling and the rats are jumping ship. Perle is trying to save his ass by deflection. It also proves that perle is insane AND stupid if he thinks the CIA will take the fall for this. This ought to get really fun to watch it play out.

7. Who gave Perle permission to say all this?
"When you discover that you have an organization that doesn't get it right time after time, you change the organization, including the people.I'd start with the head head."

Heh, heh. Pretty much how WE feel, Richard.

8. He means that Tenet didn't fabricate enough WMD evidence
to totally cover his big fat ass. The Traitor!All the CIA should be grilled for sticking to the facts instead of the "facts" as spun by the admin. Perle is an outrageous whore.

11. Enough responsability to go around (if they'll have it).
Yeah, these folk (the Perle neo-con cabal) would rather have that clown, David Kay, as head of the C.I.A.. Realize that, in their world, fact is not terribly relevant to intelligence assesments. What they want it "policy driven intelligence" and Tenet wasn't playing ball in this respect.

13. Perle is an war-mongering, oily, fatuous POS. . .
and Pat Buchanan just recently took him and David Frum to the woodshed and chopped new assholes for them over their latest screed "An End to Evil"

14. Re: "3. Tenet knows where all the bodies are buried"
TENET's speech had a bizarre quality: After months/years of upper echelon clamoring for his head, he surfaced with a cocky, in-your-face speech, the key point of which was that he personally briefs Shrub 6 days per week and has this chummy relationship with him. Later, Shrub puts out yet another ringing endorsement of him. Hmmm, shades of J.E.HOOVER, in whatever levels of meaning THAT might have----blackmail over the buried bodies, a preppy camaraderie, heck, a mutual affinity.....who knows.

. . . he could activate some thugs to do some "wet work" and they'd be back home by 5 a.m. for cornflakes.



p.s. he has George over a f*cking barrel.

16. Republicans don't get killed by the CIA, only liberals and democrats..
Edited on Thu Feb-19-04 08:56 PM by Zinfandel
planes go down, or some brain dead zombie assassin that has the liberals name written a thousand times, is found in the assassin's apartment after he shots the liberal or democrat.

CIA and republicans just fight among themselves and point fingers at each other...they are on the same money grubbing, world take over team.

18. Uh-huh, yeah, sure, right.
Edited on Thu Feb-19-04 09:07 PM by kaitykaity
I think Buchanan's piece about the neocons may have scared them. Buchanan is giving the Bush leadership an out as far as "the neocons fooled Bush, Bush isn't to blame". If Bush goes that way, neocon heads will roll, and Tenet's arrows will stay safely in his quiver. (I'd be more scared of the CIA than I would the hapless neocons.)

Edited to add link:
Buchanan Outs Neocons

No doubt Tenet has goods on the Prince of Darkness that he never imagined.
