It does cause me some distress to acknowledge that many Christians support this administration. Yes, they are supportive of Zionism, believing it to be God's will and destiny. And, many have a blind spot and can not recognize that they are being used. Bush is probably the best example of that. With the now admitted Chalabi scandal and Tenet's resignation, it should become apparent to even the blindest that there is something wrong. But of course, for this particular B.S. to see the light of day, exposure will come only when "official" sources acknowledge it.

Re: Did Tenet jump or was he pushed? If he was pushed, who pushed him? Here's a clue to DCI Tenet's resignation: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 - Web posted at 9:26:58 GMT CIA deliberately misleading on WMD: Powell WASHINGTON - The Central Intelligence Agency and other US government bodies were at times deliberately misled about alleged Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the US-led war, Secretary of State Colin Powell has acknowledged. Powell's comments yesterday in an interview with NBC television were the first official admission that the US government had been fed disinformation about Saddam Hussein's suspect arsenal of chemical and biological weapons and relayed it to the world community without seriously questioning it. "It turned out that the sourcing was inaccurate and wrong and, in some cases, deliberately misleading," Powell said on NBC's "Meet the Press" program. "And for that I am disappointed, and I regret it." Using satellite photographs, diagrams and other props, Powell made a landmark presentation to the UN Security Council on February 5, 2003, in an unsuccessful attempt to convince its members that Saddam had stockpiles of banned weapons of mass destruction and persuade them authorise US-led military action against Iraq. Powell insisted the United States had "firsthand descriptions" of mobile biological weapons factories that he said presented a threat to international security. He disclosed that the information came from an Iraqi defector, a chemical engineer who supervised one of these mobile facilities, and "other sources" who corroborated it. "Unfortunately, that multiple sourcing over time has turned out to be not accurate," a humbled secretary of state said yesterday. "And so I'm deeply disappointed." [...] namibian.com.na "And so [Powell was] deeply disappointed"... Actually, Secr of State Colin Powell was disappointed to the point of offering HIS OWN RESIGNATION for his UN faux pas --and THAT would have turned to be a devastating blow to Bush's reelection... So, Bush was faced with a pretty simple choice: the resignation of either his DCI or his Secr of State.
