CIA Boss: Iraq Never an Imminent Threat

WASHINGTON (AP) _ In his first public defense in the growing controversy

over intelligence, CIA Director George Tenet said Thursday that U.S. analysts

never claimed before the war that Iraq was an imminent threat. The urgency of

such a threat was the main argument used by President Bush for going to war.

In a speech clearly aimed at protecting the CIA from becoming a scapegoat,

Tenet said analysts held varying opinions about whether Iraq possessed

chemical, biological and nuclear weapons before the war. Those differences

were spelled out in the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate given to

the White House, he said.



We've got a monkey running this country. And if one more sorry ass stupid oaf says "Hey, he jump started the economy," I'm going to scream "BUT NOT FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS YOU TRIFLING DIMWIT!!!!"



My father used to scream at the tv when the evening news came on. I've officially carried over this tradition. I shouldn't watch tv for this reason. But I do.



If you hear a distant yell, it's just me. (Watching CNN, of course.)
