Hillary Clinton And George Tenet
4 comments May 1st, 2007
The former CIA Director, George Tenet, who served under both Bill Clinton and George W.Bush, has been getting a lot of media hype over his book. For payment of a royalty advance of reportedly $4 million, Tenet has been good enough to tell us all that he knew the pre-war “intelligence” about Iraq’s supposed “weapons of mass destruction” was a sham, used by the Bush administration to justify a war they desired for their own sweet rationale. Golly, with dedicated public servants like George Tenet, holding their tongues still while the nation they claim to serve falls down the path of disaster, only to speak up after they have left their public position and stand to gain a multi-million dollar pay-off, no wonder so many Americans have lost faith and trust in their leaders.
Now, we have Hillary Clinton telling us if she only knew the intelligence about Iraqi WMDs was contrived, she would never have voted to allow Bush to get the nation into this calamitous war. But wait a moment, Hillary has also been telling us that she is superior to every other candidate running for president due to her relevant experience, especially working at the side of husband and 42nd president Bill Clinton. As a co-president with Bill Clinton, no doubt Hillary knew as much about Iraqi WMDs as George Tenet. If that is the case, then why did she still vote for the war? If she did not acquire that information about Iraq while allegedly a key insider in the Clinton administration, then how good is her “executive” experience? It will be a cold day in hell before the Clinton camp answers that one.
