Try to look at this objectively...

In Reply to: George Tenet on White House assertions - Tornay
George Tenet wants a legacy other than *I screwed up* (which he did), and he wants to sell books (which he will). Some of what he is saying now is not at all what he said under oath in front of Congress. I suggest you read up on this situation. He said he DID say *slam dunk* referring to the intelligence, and he DID say he was wrong. He is now trying to say it is the Bush administration's fault for believing what he told them, and that they wanted to invade Iraq so bad that they went on his say-so. Which is ludicrous. And the administration, ANY administration, is SUPPOSED to be able to trust what the freakin head of the CIA tells them. And do not forget...Tenet was left over from the Clinton administration. Bush did not fire him when he took office. In retrospect...he probably SHOULD have, ya think?? By the way...what he says in the book is already being taken apart...people he quotes as saying certain things to him at the White House at certain times...the people were not even IN THE COUNTRY at that time. Basically....he lied and he is getting caught in it. He just wants to sell a bunch of books...and he will...he will be validated by the left because he is saying what they want to hear, lies or not. With all due respect, I do not understand why people on the left jump on a bashing bandwagon for Bush without doing research on their own. Boggles the mind.

Agreed. And anyone who looks at it objectively and not through partisan...
glasses could see it too. Fox has a lot more Democrat contributors and commentators than MSNBC, the major broadcast outlets or CNN. And Fox has more viewers, so apparently it is the choice of a lot of Americans.
And as to the debates...Obama didn't want anything near a town hall before his convention. I read he was going to come up through the floor in a set that looks like a Greek temple to accept his nomination. I thought to myself you have GOT to be kidding. His spokesman didn't deny it, just said it was tastefully done. Okay, a tastefully done temple. Oh my. Well, I reserve any opinion until I see it.
I never said as an independent I looked objectively....
at both sides. I am an "independent" meaning independent of the major parties. You have to register as something to vote in this country and I chose Independent. As far as objective...none of us are objective. All of us have taken a stand on one side or the other. What I do is present the other side of things posted here on the Dem side. Instead of refuting the posts, generally I just get attacked. That is generally what happens when a point can't be refuted, so all that is left is to attack. It works itself out here nearly every day.
As to the "you can't have it both ways," that was originated by a Dem poster. I just turned it back to them and I will turn it back to you...you can't have it both ways.
