Bush took responsibility for intelligence failures

[thefloyd]

fucking 3 years later and Bush finally takes responsibility and offers to reform the intelligence community. Jesus

[Loonman]

1. Why? He doesn't care

He got his war.

[Laughlandia]

2. Not really

He just spouted some empty words. If he really took responsibility for the intelligence failures that have killed thousands of Americans and spent hundreds of billions of dollars, he'd announce his resignation in the same sentence.

9. Along with the firings of several cabinet members and staffers

Welcome! :hi:

[Loonman]

3. BS, anyway

CIA hates Bush for making them patsys via WMDs and outing Plame.

[asjr]

4. He takes no responsibility. He blames the "intelligence

community." Always someone else to blame. He used contrived intelligence. He used Cheney's "intelligence."

[kentuck]

8. Bingo !

Blame it on the intelligence, uh-huh...

[crikkett]

5. and then he said, "BFD"

...he said doing so means that it was his responsibility to 'reform our intelligence community'.

[AValdoux]

6. Reform the intelligence community?

What put it back like it was before he politicized it. Fire Porter Goss and appoint someone who is actually qualified? Tell Cheney not to visit CIA headquarters again? Figure out how to get all the career analyists he ran off to come back?

7. Bush IS an intelligence failure n/t

[RSchewe]

10. No he didn't.

He has consistently laid the blame on the CIA.

11. Was this a major speech all networks covered? Or was it an interview

with one station that few will cover? What was the venue?
