Bush turned down chances to kill Zarqawi: ex-CIA spy
A former top CIA spy says the United States deliberately turned down several opportunities to kill terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in the lead-up to the Iraq war.
Mike Scheuer headed the CIA's bin Laden unit for six years before resigning in 2004.
He has told the ABC's Four Corners program the Bush administration had Zarqawi in its sights almost every day for a year.
He says a plan to destroy Zarqawi's training camp in Kurdistan was abandoned for diplomatic reasons.
"The reasons the intelligence service got for not shooting Zarqawi was simply that the President and the National Security Council decided it was more important not to give the Europeans the impression we were gunslingers," he said.
"Mr Bush had Mr Zarqawi in his sights for almost every day for a year before the invasion of Iraq and he didn't shoot because they were wining and dining the French in an effort to get them to assist us in the invasion of Iraq."
The full story will air on Four Corners tonight on ABC television.
OG, so he screwed up. Does that mean Clinton is off the hook?
Seeing how Clinton is not the President, I'd say he's "off the hook."
Oh, I don't think so. We are fighting his war now. Wished you had watched
the National Geographical Society channel last night. Maybe you did. What
a wimp Clinton was. He threw so many chances away to solve things in the
beginning and blew (sorry for the pun) them all. Oh, and the did give Bush
his lumps too.
Hasn't Scheuer been out of the CIA for a while now? Why didn't he put this in his book?
How to be a conservative:
When presented with unpleasant facts about a conservative, change the subject to Clinton.
^ LOL
Hilariously true.
All the time ignoring the fact that the Presidential Blow Job didn't kill anyone last time I checked.
Oh but it did. He was busy defending his actions and not taking care of
the country's security needs. You know like, a barracks in Saudi Arabia,
five embassies and a navy ship, plus those killed in "Black Hawk Down".
^ and not receiving a blowjob.
Laura looks prude. Scared even.
Ditto for dimm-o-craps. Just blame the messenger or Bush. And ignore
the facts.![]()
Get a better computer, cheapskate. Yours keeps running out of memory,
like all that happen before Bush.
