Tenet Plays the Jew Card

[Nbadan]

When Neo-Conservatism goes bad....

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg offers an interesting excerpt from "A World Of Trouble," a forthcoming book by Patrick Tyler on the White House and the Middle East. In this scene, CIA director George Tenet, drunk on scotch at Saudi Prince Bandar's pool, rants about Bush administration "Jews" who are "setting me up" to take the fall for the false WMD claims:

A servant appeared with a bottle. Tenet knocked back some of the scotch. Then some more. They watched with concern. He drained half the bottle in a few minutes.

"They're setting me up. The bas s are setting me up," Tenet said, but "I am not going to take the hit."
...

"According to one witness, he mocked the neoconservatives in the Bush administration and their alignment with the right wing of Israel's political establishment, referring to them with exasperation as, "the Jews."

Huff

ppl dont usually take notice whatever a drunk says, but in most cases a drunk will spill the beans...which can sometimes either be fact or bs....take ur pick. But its the obvious here with this issue.

[Oh, Gee!!]

I don't understand...

Propaganda Dan likes to slam president Bush, yet Tenet is a Clinton appointee that president Bush fired after finding out Tenet supplied him with poor CIA intelligence, and the Plame scandal.

Just how does this make Tenet a neocon?

Someone enlighten me please.

Try re-reading the thread. What you're looking for isn't there. nbadan didn't call Tenet a neocon and neither does he article.

OK, You're right. I don't now what I did to misread it.

I wonder if that really happened?

I tend to think that's a bit out there even though I have no respect for Tenet.

Did it happen? According to the Mr. Smarty Pants veracity test, yes it did --
