Comments for No way, No how, No Brennan »
Posted By tehranchik 1 year, 1 month ago in Political NewsMarc reports the Republican, former chief-of-staff for George Tenet (who authorized war crimes as CIA head), admirer of Dick Cheney, CEO of the company one of whose contract employees improperly accessed Obama's and McCain's passports, and defender of renditions and ' enhanced interrogations' is still Obama's front-runner pick to head the CIA. No, I'm not making this up. Brennan was high up in the agency during the run-up to the Iraq war and has since conceded this about the intelligence he was in part responsible for:

Just so you don't get to spun out here.

George Tenet was appointed to the chief-of-staff position by BILLY CLINTON.
There's a very good chance that George Tenet deliberately gave bush false information so to undermine and trip up the Bush administration....
Yes, it's another conspiracy theory, led by a democrat... Just like Barney Frank and his LIES that Fanny and Freddie are doing fine and everyone should be delighted with their stock in those institutions. Barney LIED...WHY would he lie about something like that????? I'll tell ya why.
The dems knew if they could ruin the economy during the elections, then Obama would win for sure. That's it in a nutshell!-

You might be on to something, except the small problem of Bush and Cheney wanting to attack Iraq on 9-12-2001. The desire to attack Iraq existed long before Tenet was in the position to fabricate such a scenario. You have the cart way in front of the horse.

I really enjoy how you portray Frank as the most powerful man in the economic world. Just a few months ago, everyone in congress was a do nothing.
Is Frank partially to blame? Sure, he is. Along with 534 other members of congress and a white house full political incompetents. To suggest it is one persons doing is naive and overly simplistic. It also smacks of rabble rousing talk show entertainer banter. It is also the risk that comes along with deregulation.-

So you think all 534 members were appointed to keep an eye on Freddie and Fannie do ya? Sorry pal, that was Barney's job to do that.

You say
"problem of Bush and Cheney wanting to attack Iraq on 9-12-2001. The desire to attack Iraq existed long before Tenet was in the position to fabricate such a scenario."
Gee, do ya have any proof of that, or are you a democrat who simply grabs crap out of thin air?-

Please provide empirical evidence that states that one person who is an elected representative of one state, is in charge of the entire federal oversight of the F's.

So, who was watching from 1995-2006? Clue, it wasn't Barney.
There is ample evidence through Richard Clarke. Yes, he was there. Powell pushed back on Bush and Cheney that to attack Iraq, when there was factual evidence concerning Al Qaeda and OBL behind the attacks, would destroy world opinion and empathy toward the US. Bush and Cheney finally conceded the point to the degree that Afghanistan would need to be first before they decided to pursue other points of interest. We have historic evidence on the success of that.
There is plenty of info on this. Had you at least looked into it prior to your response, it would make you look less like you were hoping and praying that I would be like your fellow talk show entertainer disciples and explicitly believe whatever comes through the magic box.
You voted for a liberal for president. I voted for Ron Paul. Who's the democrat?
I'll understand if you do not respond.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
There will be small changes, but there will not be the revolution in thought, policies, and processes that some hoped for in this past election.
One man cannot stop such a runaway train. -
