On the national scene: George Tenet slams Bush as Joe Biden serves "waffles".
CBS "60 minutes" program tonight is airing an interview with CIA Director, George Tenet (pictured on the right), who has published an expose', At the center of the storm (available at Amazon.com), in which he will argue that President George Bush was gearing up for war with Iraq and misused Tenet's "slam dunk" comment to urge the presence of Saddam Hussein's WMDs as a pretext for the Iraq war. Watch the video and decide if he needs to be believed. Some say yes, others say no.
The question I have is why Tenet kept silent until NOW, when he should have spoken up against any misuse of his "slam dunk" flawed Iraq war intelligence?
And Senator Joe Biden (pictured on the left) was "called out" today by Tim Russert on his prior inconsistencies on Iraq and other issues. Watch the video and see (and hear it for yourself). After watching Joe Biden serve us so many "waffles" -- how long he expects us to stay in Iraq, abortion, to mention a couple, -- I wondered why he forgot to bring a bottle of "syrup" with him. That would have come in handy to sweeting his not-so-sweet servings!
Update: Watch the video as Secretary of State, Condi Rice, dismisses Tenet's accusations.

George Tenet’s defense of his slam dunk remark is a stunning indictment of his own conduct. This is so typical of the Party of Bush. To see why, visit the Schapira blog, “What we know so far…” See, “The case against George Bush is an easy lay-up.”
“… and tell ’em Big Mitch sent ya!”
Big Mitch, I AGREE with your statement that "George Tenet’s defense of his slam dunk remark is a stunning indictment of his own conduct."
Bob Woodward concludes Tenet is Reaping The Whirlwind (of his own making). I couldn't AGREE more.
