Slam Dunk

George Tenet, the former CIA Director, has published a book describing what went on during the planning stages of the Iraq war. Tenet is notorious for his certainty of Iraq possessing WMD, saying it was a "slam dunk."


When I first learned that Tenet was publishing a book I wondered how he could possibly defend his accusations of Iraq, I thought he would just go hide in the shadows with Colin Powell (who I still think should run for president).



Like a true politician, Tenet says his "slam dunk" accusation was taken out of context. Thanks for clearing that up...4 years later.


Maybe he should have told President Bush that he "suspected" that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Not that it was a slam dunk! I just don't see how this can be taken out of context. This is simply the easy way out. Anything can be taken out of context, hell the word the can be taken out of context!


I also find it hard to believe that the director of the CIA, whose information is life or death in deciding to go to war, did not make himself clear to the president when he was deciding to invade a country! Give me a break Tenet!

It was extremely bad intelligence, or the weapons were moved before we got there. Its not like the Iraqis didn't know we were coming!


Tenet also discusses how there was little to no planning of the Iraq war. How gullible are we to believe this? Because we do believe it. Now a days we are looking for anything to make it seem that this whole war was one man's decision, when in fact it was not. Bush is not Napoleon.

Maybe when Bush is out of office he will take a page out of Tenet's (I refuse to say I'm wrong) book and say that he didn't actually order the Iraq war. His intentions were just taken out of context.
