So who bites the bullet on the whole "Iraq is getting nuclear materials from Africa" thing? This is not a type of error a competent man makes, is it? I mean to say, a lie like that has to be deliberately acknowledged by someone before it makes the State of the Union Address, right?
I tend to think that the buck should stop at the President. It's his show. If CIA Director Tenet isn't competent, Pres. Bush should have fired him long ago. But, due to Tenet's long tenure as Director, and this is the first slip-up of this sort, I assume he's not incompetant.

But someone had to goof up, right? Where does the buck stop? The buck stops with Pres. Bush. I've supported him in the past, and I continue to support him, but this is his fault.

But, thankfully for Pres. Bush, Tenent has decided (or been convinced to) to take the bullet, Clint Eastwood fashion. Whether it's the right thing to do, or not, it saves Pres. Bush from further attacks.

But, heads must roll for this. If Tenet is competent, should his head be the one to roll? Or will it be one of his underlings? Hmm. It sure would be an "out with a bang" exit if Tenet hit the bricks like this. But will Pres. Bush sacrifice a trusted, honest, competant Director so that his reputation survives with one less battle scar?

Any way you slice it, I don't like it. Oh well.
