Book: Tenet drunkenly mocked Bush neocons, right-wing Israelis

Swimming trunks? $25. Bottle of fine scotch? $60.
The director of the CIA in the pool of a Saudi prince, ranting drunkenly about neocons and Jews? Priceless.
In a scene described in the upcoming Patrick Tyler book A World of Trouble, former CIA director George Tenet was visiting the house of Prince Bandar bin Sultan when he allegedly let loose after imbibing on whiskey, reports Jeffrey Goldberg on his blog at The Atlantic.
Tenet, Tyler writes, was in Bandar’s swimming pool complaining loudly about Bush administration officials “who were just then trying to pin the Iraq WMD fiasco on him.”
After quickly consuming half of a bottle of scotch given to him by one of Bandar’s servants, Tenet said, “They’re setting me up. The bastards are setting me up, [but] I am not going to take the hit.”
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Tyler then writes that, according to one witness, Tenet “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.’”
Goldberg says that in Tyler’s footnotes, Tenet denied much of the account, including the remarks and a report that he had taken a sleeping pill in addition to alcohol.
It wasn’t made clear by Goldberg just when the alleged incident occurred according to the book. Tenet retired from the CIA in 2004. Shortly thereafter he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by George W. Bush, despite criticism from Congressional Democrats that Tenet was responsible for intelligence failures regarding Iraq’s purported weapons of mass destruction.
Goldberg’s blog post can be read in full at this link.

Love it how they don’t really want to go into why this former CIA director is in this Prince’s Pool in the first place.

Researchers did soil samples and testing of the ground at the Shanksville PA site where the ‘planes’ crashed on 911. They found zero evidence of a single drop of jet fuel. Let me repeat….not one single drop of jet fuel was found at the PA crash site. Not one single speck of fuel was found at Shanksville.
When authorities wanted to test the ground in front of the Pentagon to assess the damage and hazards of jet fuel….VP Cheney ordered 5 feet of dirt to cover the entire area without any testing whatsoever. Look at the photos of the Pentagon “rescuers” which Rumsfeld was one of the first people on the scene, FBI, police, and military personnel after the crash at the Pentagon. Out of a possible 650 people at the site…..3 are wearing any form of protective masks. THREE! The sickening and overwhelming smell of jet fuel, regardless of how big the explosion was, would be everywhere. The ground would be toxic for months.
At the WTC’s in NYC…. NO test was ever done regarding anything. They didn’t test for fuel or explosives in ANY way. Even NIST has said it never testing for demolitions on WTC 7 because “when we looked at video…we couldn’t HEAR anything that sounded like explosions so we did no testing”!! Once the world understands that there were no commercial planes on 911 the BIG LIE is exposed. ALL decisions on 911 must be reversed. The US has started never ending wars of terror based specifically on planes crashing on 911. Patriot Act, torture, anthrax, renditions, warrantless wiretapping, suiciding, incarceration without charges, Homeland Security, trillions in military spending…..all have been based on planes crashing on 911. The planes were a fraud and a conspired lie. That means everything after that was a lie. The war on terror must end.
To this day….not one single piece of airline debris has ever been verified by anyone outside of the Bush White House. Not one single piece. There are over 3.1 million pieces that could verify a standard 757…..that’s 13 million pieces from 911 alone….and not one single piece has ever been verified by anyone outside of the Bush’s. Photos, witnesses, and video have never counted as verification. Only verifiable wreckage counts. Photos, witnesses, and video are what the US had to prove WMD’s in Iraq. The second the world wanted ANY form of physical verification of the WMD’s…..the lie was over. It is now called an “intelligence failure”. That’s an understatement? Though the US is still murdering 1,000 Iraqi’s a day based on this same admitted lie.
What else does the fact that there were no commercial planes that crashed on 911 mean?
