Tenet was a Clinton Appointee, and ALSO someone who started his career in the Senate Intelligence Committee.. That's wholly irrelevant. And I guess he can also be blamed for Clintons 1998 Iraqi Regime Change Act that he signed INTO LAW... Which explicitly prohibited the use of US Forces. Bottom line.. The intelligence that Bush relied upon to go to war in Iraq was collected, analyzed, and acted upon legislatively in both the US and the UN, while Clinton was President. The intelligence collection and analysis didn't end with the Clinton Administration. Chalabi and Curveball [a known liar] came afterwards. Further, what is important is that every piece of intelligence that the Bush Administration gave to the UN prior to the beginning of the war turned out to be wrong. The Niger document was shown to be a forgery; the alleged chemical weapons van was nothing other than a military van; the alleged chemical weapons factory produced nothing other than booze, the aluminum tubes were designed for missile technology not centrifuges. Not a single piece of intelligence or analysis checked out. It was all wrong and known to be wrong before Bush committed forces. So you can feed the "propaganda machine" all you want in your vain attempt to rewrite history, but the truth is there.. Yes it is, read the preceeding paragraph again. jttmab
