I call B.S. George Tenet was a Clinton appointee who Bush kept in place (which hasn't happened since before Jimmy Carter, a huge Bush misake IMO). Tenet spoke for the entire Intel community and briefed Colin Powell prior to his speech at the UN. Jay Rockefeller (Vice Chair of the Senate Intel Committee) and the Senate Dems had the same info as everyone else.
Going into Iraq was a complete bi-partisan effort. Once the public opinion polls showed some distaste for the war, the Dems ran for cover and threw Bush, the Republicans, and what our brave men & women in uniform are fighting and dying for under the bus, plain and simple. Iraq is far more stable than the Dems are willing to give credit for (I wonder if the election has anything to do with it???)
