TENET: Is it CIA or CYA? by Stella L. Jatras May 8, 2007 One of the biggest mistakes President George W. Bush made when first taking office was that he didn't clean house. He didn't clean house at the Department of State where Clinton's mouthpiece, Nicholas Burns, is still implementing President Clinton's flawed policies in pushing for an independent Kosovo and the creation of another jihadist state in the heart of Europe. (See: www.savekosovo.org) And above all, President Bush should have replaced George John Tenet who was appointed Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) in July, 1997, by President Bill Clinton. Since I didn't want to buy Tenet's book, "At the Center of the Storm," and to put more money in his pocket, I preferred, instead, to sit in one of the comfortable arm chairs provided at some book stores and peruse the book there because I wanted to see what the author had to say specifically about Bosnia and Kosovo. Apparently, the author did not think that the destruction of a Christian nation in order to appease the Muslim world was worthy of note because "Bosnia," and "Kosovo," except for a few references, were barely mentioned. As an American of Greek descent, I was both saddened and outraged when President George W. Bush presented Tenet with the President Medal of Freedom Aware, the nation's highest civilian honor. I was outraged because on George Tenet's watch, President William Jefferson Clinton was allowed to destroy our fellow Christians, the Serbs, America's ally of two world wars. If this humble person, (and I am referring to myself,) knew the truth of what was happening in Kosovo, surely the director of the CIA also must have known, or should have known, that the majority of the atrocities for which we bombed innocent Serbian civilians were staged by Muslims both in Bosnia and in Kosovo. If I knew of the March 2004 pogrom that was being committed against the Serbian population in Kosovo by Albanian mobs, that Serbs were being beheaded, that "grannies," were being raped and drowned (in bathtubs), that Serbian Orthodox priests were being beaten and/or murdered, and that centuries old monasteries and churches were being either desecrated or destroyed by our good friends, the Kosovo Liberation Army, why didn't George Tenet know? The following words of Representative Tom Lantos, a Democrat from California, spoken at a press conference on 17 April will forever haunt me: "Rep. Lantos: Thank you very much. Let me just raise a few items, Mr. Secretary. The first one: Just a reminder to the predominately Muslim-led governments in this world that here is yet another example that the United States leads the way for the creation of a predominately Muslim country in the very heart of Europe. This should be noted by both responsible leaders of Islamic governments, such as Indonesia, and also for the jihadists of all colors and hue. The United States' principles are universal, and in this instance, the United States stands foursquare for the creation of an overwhelmingly Muslim country in the heart of Europe." This being the case, then why are we fighting terrorists all over the world when Lantos and his ilk are seeking to "create an overwhelmingly Muslim country in the heart of Europe?" Do they really think, and I reiterate here, that by destroying a Christian people, the Muslim world will be appeased? For myself, I cannot think of any other reason why respectable congressmen and politicians would want what would be clearly devastating to Europe and to the world? George John Tenet resigned abruptly on June 3, 2004, and left July 11, 2004, the seventh anniversary since his swearing in, reportedly "for personal reasons." And finally, I was saddened, because an American of Greek descent, who had the opportunity to do great things for this country, had failed in his job. I need not rehash the intelligence communities failures regarding 9/11 or Tenet's "Slam Dunk" comment about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Those failures, directly attributed to George Tenet, received copious press coverage, but in his book, he is, in my opinion, attempting to use the old "CYA" excuse. _____ To E-mail Banner of Liberty - Click Here <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Website: http://www.bannerofliberty.com To E-Mail Mary Mostert, Analyst - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax # (801) 426-8316 Return to Banner of Liberty <http://obannerofliberty.com/>
