You wouldn't think they would allow so many cowards and draft dodgers on their principles list though?

For Tenet to have real credibility, he should have made this stink a lot earlier. Like before we invaded
|
Now, that I understand. |
Because Jeb Bush, Dan Quayle, and Dick Cheney avoided service in Vietnam like the plague. Now that they are old, they are all for sending young boys off to fight god knows where for god knows what. In my opinion, this makes them draft dodgers and cowards. |
Could be but that alone doesn't invalidate their decision to go to war and the reasons why this war was declared was spelled out to the public more than once.

George Bush had the audacity to smear John McCain over his being a POW.

This of course had the added benefit of destroying the relationship between the RA and the NG: severly weakening the Army.

Sorry. What are these abbreviations?
EDIT: What does any of the above have to do with Tenet, which is the subject of this thread?
UPDATE: If you wish to use Powell as your inspiration, allow me to remind you of
this interview. As an aside, note Powell's disagreement with Bob Woodward's claims.
While we're at it, here are some more Powell quotes of yesteryear:
“‘The biggest s.o.b. on the block’ rule. America should enter fights with every bit of force available or not at all.” (Time, April 19, 2001).
“Go in full force from the beginning rather than escalate yourself into a quagmire. Or don’t go in at all.” (Slate Magazine,March 27, 1999).
“Overwhelming U.S. force assures success at minimum risk to Americans in uniform.” (Boston Globe, Jan. 19, 2001).
