Drunk George Tenet lashed out at Bush’s neocons: ‘The Jews’ who tried to ‘pin the Iraq WMD fiasco on him.’

tenet.jpgAtlantic reporter Jeffrey Goldberg recently picked up a copy of Patrick Tyler’s forthcoming book, A World of Trouble, which focuses on “America’s tortured relations with the Middle East.” Goldberg says that the book’s prologue contains a “whopper of a scene” featuring former CIA director George Tenet “drunk on scotch, flailing about Prince Bandar’s Riyadh pool, screaming about the Bush Administration officials who were just then trying to pin the Iraq WMD fiasco on him.” Tyler reports that Tenet also “mocked the neoconservatives in the Bush administration” as “the Jews“:

According to one witness, he 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.”

A footnote in Tyler’s book says that Tenet “initially denied staying at Prince Bandar’s palace, then denied that he had said anything in the pool.” “He disputed the remarks attributed to him and denied that his memory might have been affected by the amount of alcohol he was reported to have consumed on top of a sleeping pill,” reports Tyler.

UpdateTenet posted a statement on his website denying Tyler's story, calling it "completely false."

    Actually the US/Israel relationship is one that is in serious need of reform.
    In exchange for subsidizing Israel to the tune of up to $3 billion a year (invariably with no interest and no strings attached) and underwriting various weapons systems that remain exclusive to Israel, and supplying them with munitions whenever they need them for their militaristic adventures ( such as with Lebanon in 2006), the Israelis are exempted from supporting the US militarily (regardless of the cause), do whatever the hell they want, constantly spy inside the US and basically function as an ungrateful and demanding welfare case--and that's thanks in considerable part to the neocons ( and their philosophical predecessors ) and a failure on everyone else's part, to dare to examine just how the hell the US (or indeed ordinary Jews for that matter) really benefits from this lopsided arrangement.


  11. Uncle Fester Lurks Says:

    Oh how nice of Tenet to be wining and dining at poolside with the enemy and whining about his own government in front of the enemy. Then to top it all off he blames everything on the Jews in front of the Arabian prince. Sorry George but you are just a big of piece of sh*t as Bush.

    Bush isn't Jewish, but the NeoCons that drove PNAC and the Iraq policy ARE. They sold out our country for the interests of Israel and tried to pin the whole thing on Tenet even though it was their Pentagon based efforts that delivered the fake intelligence on WMDs...

  15. Uncle Fester Lurks Says:

    5th Estate, we need to stop subsidizing Israel with our tax payer $$ and also do the same with Egypt, Jordan etc. Our country and our economy is in shambles thanks to the greed on Wall street and with the banksters.

    We the people are being asked to sacrifice in these tumultious economic times created by greed and unaccountability and yet our government continues to give financial aid to these countries.

    Sorry, it's time to end the subsidizing or bribing other countries with taxpayer dollars and began using that money within our own country towards we the people and our needs.


  16. stateofthedivision Says:

    Bush hosted a White House Hanukkah party to celebrate the Jewish holiday. As President, he initiated the tradition. Attendees expressed hope Barack Obama would continue the practice.


  17. alphainfinityomega Says:

    "...to pin the Iraq WMD fiasco on him." is the exact reason that Cheney/Bush kept Tenant around in the first place; to have a Clinton appointee around to blame the obvious WMD and Intel. lies on.
    No comment on the 'Jews' thing, but sometimes they will do underhanded things---just ask Isaac.

  19. lokidog Says:

    I think the whole Iraqi fiasco proves why Bush (Cheney) allowed Tenet to continue as CIA Director. They knew - at some point - they would need a "bipartisan" holdover from the Clinton Administration around to point at and use/blame/pile sh*t on, etc. to serve their neocon, evil agenda.

    The dumber that "holdover" was, the better. A drunk, too? Woo HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    George Tenet - this is your loser of a life. Deal with it - you've earned your scorn and disrespect well.

    You REALLY don't know this after ALL OF THESE YEARS of folks talking about what was going on at the pentagon? WHERE WERE YOU?

    He's referring specifically to the Jewish NeoCons who were the architects of the Iraqi policy, the intelligence fabrication and the subsequent effort to pin the failures on Tenet. This includes Feith, Wolfowitz, Perle in the administration and Kristol, etc., outside the administration that played a critical role both in policy and media water carrying.

    Feith in particular used the office of special plans in the pentagon to fabricate and disseminate clearly dishonest intelligence reports that were used to justify the invasion. Iraq attacked Israel during the gulf war, and the NeoCons wanted revenge - pure and simple. Plus they wanted to grab the oil resources of Iraq and wrest them away at least partially from Arab control as per the PNAC plan...

    Actually he was surely pressured to do what he did, and he wasn't the SOURCE of fabricated intelligence - that was the NeoCons. He's right about that... However, that being said, he was most certainly WEAK in his leadership and is partially responsible for what happened. But if you want to prosecute the WAR CRIMINALS then you should START with the NeoCons "The Jews" as Tenet so inarticulately stated - that were behind the entire invasion.

    Actually I really don't believe the Neocons attacked Iraq for the interests of Israel. If they really wanted to serve the interests of Israel they would have attacked Iran or Syria which are supposedly greater threats to Israel.

    The Neoncons were serving their own interests. By attacking Iraq they get to control the oil thru the Iraqi puppet government. They get all of their cronies like Halliburton no bid contracts AND they get to push draconian laws like the Patriot Act's I & II after their successful New Pearl Harbor incident on 9/11/2001.

    Those who blame everything on the Jews are just playing right into the Neocons and the puppet masters hands. And although some of the puppet masters may indeed call themselves Jews, they are no more Jewish then Bush is a Christian, it's by name only. These are evil bastards who do not care about Jews, Christians, Atheists, Buddhas, Muslims, Hindu, etc, all they care about is themselves and world domination.

    Actually I really don’t believe the Neocons attacked Iraq for the interests of Israel. If they really wanted to serve the interests of Israel they would have attacked Iran or Syria which are supposedly greater threats to Israel.

    The NeoCons blamed Iraq for funding suicide bombers using oil money. They went after them first because they were spending the most money. They did in fact plan to attack both Syria second and Iran third but both plans fizzled after Iraq was botched. Don't you remember the posturing in the last couple of years for invading both of those countries?

    The Neoncons were serving their own interests. By attacking Iraq they get to control the oil thru the Iraqi puppet government. They get all of their cronies like Halliburton no bid contracts AND they get to push draconian laws like the Patriot Act’s I & II after their successful New Pearl Harbor incident on 9/11/2001.

    Controlling the oil was definitely a massive part of the plan, and that control also starved the source of income that was supporting the Palestinians who were resisting the takeover of their country.

    Those who blame everything on the Jews are just playing right into the Neocons and the puppet masters hands. And although some of the puppet masters may indeed call themselves Jews, they are no more Jewish then Bush is a Christian, it’s by name only. These are evil bastards who do not care about Jews, Christians, Atheists, Buddhas, Muslims, Hindu, etc, all they care about is themselves and world domination.

    Who says EVERYTHING? And those that use excuses that they're just trying to "blame the jews" when the jews are actually RESPONSIBLE are no different than a gang banger that says you're just putting him in jail because he's black even though he just killed someone. The reality is that while the VAST MAJORITY of Jewish Americans are conscientious, responsible and highly desirable American citizens, some like the NeoCons are zealot and disastrous for our national security and for their own people. This is no different than radical muslims. You can't deny that radical muslims rammed airplanes into the trade center. It doesn't make all muslims bad, but you can't ignore that it's related to and tied to the radical muslim movement either. This is no different. NeoCons are radicals, they just happen to be JEWISH radicals instead of muslim ones...

    Nah, that's not even remotely true.

    First of all, Iran would be destroying, or at least making uninhabitable, Jerusalem/al-Quds, the third holiest site in Islam. That's not going to win them any friends among their Arab neighbors.

    Secondly, the absence of Israel as a regional hegemony would allow other back-burner tensions between Levantine neighbors to boil to the surface, particularly as the aquifers supplying Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan dry up.

    Thirdly, Iran does not have nuclear weapons and won't for the forseeable future. They know full well that such an action would cut them from the rest of the world, whose Euros they depend on to placate their underemployed and increasingly disaffected populace with social programs.

    So, no, we would not have world peace in a world without Israel.

    We might, however, have much more world peace in a world where Israel gives the Palestinians the rights they deserve under the Geneva conventions, or - better yet - gives them their land back.

    Um, "Jew" is not an epithet. I think it's probably more antisemitic to act as if it is. If he's talking about American-Israeli policy, then he's probably validly referring to some jews.

    No but it is a generalizing term that includes all people of one race which is just prejudice......not all Jews support the waring faction of the Israeli government.

    It is one thing to talk about what the Irsraeli government does and it is quite another to use the word Jew when talking about it.

    Most Jewish people call themselves "Jews" all of the time, I hear it myself. He's specifically referring to "The Jews" who are NeoCons in the administration that were behind the FAKE INTELLIGENCE. Saying this is an "epithet" would be like saying "It was the Arabs" behind invasion if it had been an Arabic Cabal instead of a Jewish one. The FACT is that he's RIGHT. It doesn't mean "The Jews" as in "All Jews" were behind this, but "The Jews" in the administration definitely were the driving force, the enablers and the guilty parties for creating both policy and fabricated lies to facilitate it...

    While "The Jews" in this administration don't represent Jewish thought, Jewish values or Judaism for that matter - they do represent what happens when people use their religious/cultural radicalism to justify illicit behaviors. They are no different from "The Arabs" that justify radical bombings and terrorist activities. They're both just wrong - period!

    How about Iran giving sanctuary to Bin Laden’s son? Iran and Al-Qaeda aren’t as big of enemies as you think. It’s Taqqiya to fool naive people like you. Iran and AL-Qaeda would fight you side by side if they had to. They both hate you!
    Deal with it!

    ROTFL!! You are KIDDING aren't you? If we INVADED Iran, SURE! If ISRAEL INVADED US, or if WE INVADED THEM, they'd fight us too! The average Iranians LOVE ALL THINGS AMERICAN! You really need to get out of your MOMMA'S BASEMENT or WHATEVER RADICAL TEMPLE YOUR HOLD UP IN! You're a COMPLETE AND UTTER FRINGE LUNATIC!

  83. Jackie Says:

    Tenet see's dead people for the part he played. Alcohol talks and don't be surprised if someone from the United Nations was listening too. Most of these guys will fine themselves leakiing secrets as the pressure is great. Even Bush is drinking and talking. The shocker for Americans will be when we learn it was the US/Saudis that bomb the World Trade Center and the terrorist were well paid. As a Foreign Jouranlist reported on PBS the Families of the 9/11 terrorist moved away and now are wealthy. These men gave their lives and their families were paid off.

    As usual Americans didn't listen or look carefully at the facts. Even Bin Ladin said he didn't play any part nor did Al Qeada but Bush/Cheney used him to illegally invade Iraq for oil and land. Yes we see just what part Israel played. Notice the Prime Minister Omert had to step down for corruptiion. Israel needed Iraq so they and the US could bomb Iran. This was all planned out in the late 90's as the set up took place to remove Clinton. It worked really well for the GOP as they used God's name and people followed like sheep. Well it worked with killing Jesus so some things never change.

    I don't have any double standard when it comes to the Israeli issue, none at all. But I do not believe Israel had anything to do with us attacking Iraq. As for Perle, Wurmser, Kristol, Feith and Wolfowitz, may they all burn in hell along with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and Powell.

    My problem is with those who are filled with hate, who believe everything they read at sites like infowars and information clearing house, where 99% of the comments blame the Jews on 9/11, the Iraq war, the financial crisis, their home team losing, etc, etc, ignorance is bliss especially from those whose minds are filled with hateful, agenda filled false rhetoric.

    Sure... I wouldnt trust 75% of the things that come out of Alex Jones mouth. The guy is clearly a snake oil salesman. On the the other hand I dont believe 90% of the things Rachel Maddow says, or Brian Williams for that matter. The facts are the facts, PNAC is based on israeli policy from the mid-90's. Richard Perle was caught spying for Israel in the 70's, Larry Franklin in 05 i think? Who's to say all the "Scoop Jackson Dem's" arent passing information to AIPAC now. They are all neocons. It's clear that the Iraq war was for the sole beifit of Israel, and it's nieve to think AIPAC and the neocons arent connected at the hip. Why would you spy on an alli? I would suggest reading the Mearsheimer/Walt report and an by way of deception by Victor Otrovsy

How exactly is it that they know he didnt go to take a midnight dip in the pool? Did they sleep in the same room with him?

    So tell us, "tenetspokesman", is it a "slam-dunk" that Tenet didnt say this? hahaahhahahaah. liar...


  114. Arthur_Abyss Says:

    According to one witness, he mocked... Not really the most convincing way to corroborate something, is it. Nor to introduce more thoughts on a well-known "taboo" US policy discussion related to our obvious unpatriotic tie to the "51st State" of Israel. That really has less to do with Jews per say, and more to do with the convenience of merging of "Old Testament" ideologies and power-bases of certain audiences, whether raptures, Bush and neo-cons imposing as if a way-of-life, what has become a very uncomfortable, un-American relation between American citizens and Israel right-wing. Can anyone explain why during the election process, the major newsbroadcasters (BBC, CNN etc..) transmitted in full, the live speeches of Hillary and Obama at AIPAC? It became normalized. No one asked about those speeches, i.e. why does Hillary Clinton know the names of Israeli soldiers "kidnapped" who should be released...(soldiers are captured by the way, not kidnapped) Why is she marching with their wives in NYC? Why are we even commenting on Jerusalem politics? Why is she discussing how textbooks introduce the term "nakba" and then she takes the right-wing, mostly unpopular position this term isn't allowable. All in that one global speech. Etc... The situation became normalized with Rahm Emmanuel, who no matter what spin is going to be put, volunteered in Israel for his service during the Gulf War. And let's not forget his father's recent statements about dirty Arabs that NO one asked him to apologize for except finally the Arab-American groups.
    The Neo-Cons were of course aligned with certain geopolitical realities, and Israel is working its way into Kurdistan, and oil pipelines are being directed to them, and the like, this is no secret news. But the neo-cons just institutionalized for their greed and corruption what was already in place. Now... the relation is "normalized" as the 51st State in principle.

    "I think when this is all over, people are going to say that Barack Obama is the first Jewish president"--Abner Mikva, as quoted in: Pauline Dubkin Yearwood, OBAMA AND THE JEWS: A look at why some Jews love him and some don't trust him; and at the key role Chicago Jews played in getting him to where he is, http://www.chicagojewishnews.com/story.htm?sid=212226&id=252218, (10/24/2008)


  115. jgarbuz Says:

    While Tenet was drinking alcohol and babbling in the holy land of the Muslims, Saudi Arabia, I wonder why he didn't ask Prince Bandar the following three questions:

    1. Why Christians and Jews are never allowed to live as citizens in the kingdom?

    2. Why did Muhammad personally behead 600-900 Jews, rob their wealth, and ethnically cleanse them out of Medina, a city the Jews had originally founded?

    3. And, what happened to the properties of the nearly 1 million Jews who were forced to leave the Arab countries after 1948?


  116. American Patriots Against Zionism Says:

    The "Jews" like Wolfowitz and Feith did manipulate the US into war and were well aware of pre-9/11 attacks. Tenet is right. The sad part is that no one is able to speak the truth without the anti-Semite grenade going off.

    They should be tried and hung as traitors. Why do we allow people with dual citizenship and non-US loyalties into positions of power in the government?

    These Jews (a loose term since they are neither religious nor moral) would sell their soul and the US for Mother Zion. They murdered dozens on the USS liberty without remorse and allowed thousands to die on 9/11.

    Time to rethink that plan from the 40s!


  117. Sam Thornton Says:

    Jeesh! Mention the words "Jew" or "Israel" and the loonies pop out. Blaming members of a narrow, ideological group for something is a far cry from blaming an entire ethnic group. It's the difference between criticism and racism.


  118. jgarbuz Says:

    The situation of Jews in the US and Europe today is not much different than in GErmany in the late 1920s and '30, when a combination of economic depression and the post war situation made the scapegoating of Jews for Germany's loss of WWI and the subsequent difficulties fashionable. Nothing has really changed, except that the word "Jew" has been replaced by such more "PC" euphemisms such as "Zionists" or "neocons."
    They've even attempted to pin 9/11 on the "Zionists." As my mother, a holocaust survivor, told me as a child, that antisemitism is in the blood, and while it may go underground for a while, never really goes away. Thankfully, today there is a Jewish state where Jews can defend themselves if required. Otherwise, not much has really changed.

  120. MichaelF Says:

    The joke is that these "Jewish" neo-cons really have no connection to the Jewish community. For example, Paul Wolfowitz belongs to no synagogue, no Jewish organizations, but he does have an Arab girlfriend. Ask any knowledgeable member of the Jewish community, and they will tell you that in the past Wolfowitz has always associated with the Arabs!

    And for those who say, "Wait a minute! The entire war was fought only for Israel's sake!" Sorry. Hate to burst your bubble, but the neo-cons don't give a damn about Israel. We now know that Israel opposed the US invasion. According to those present at Bush's private talks with then PM Sharon, Sharon told Bush not to attack Saddam because it would open the gate for Iranian expansion and cause other problems. Note the comments of former State Department official Lawrence Wilkerson, who is one of these eyewitnesses. Just do a web search. There are plenty of news stories on this.
