George Tenets Inner Monologue

Secretary of State Colin Powell, Addressing UN Security Council on WMD's in Iraq. CIA Director George Tenet is to his left, US Ambassador to the UN, John Negroponte to his right.

"...Hmmm. Maybe now would be a good time to speak up and say that all that crap about Iraqi 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' and it being a "slam dunk" was just me trying to impress my secretary at lunch one day. Nahhhhhh. Besides, look at him, he's on a roll! I'll just let it go and get back to it later. I can always come back and deny it by leaking it to my pal Woodward. That sort of thing happens all the time this town, who's gonna know?

I mean its not really a "fib" now is it, I mean Saddams going to have weapons of some sort when its all said and done, right? It's Saddam were talking about here fer cryin' out loud, of course hes got big nasty things that he shouldn't have! That's what makes him Saddam! If you can't stereotype the behaviour of a dicator, then who can you stereotype, right? Give him the benefit of the doubt?, let the inspections work?, come on man its saddam-freakin-hussein here, he kills his own people for sport, with store bought, "off the shelf", "lookie here folks, we got the reciept!" chemical weapons no less. He can't help himself, it's some "mommy doesnt love me" thing at work in the whole hussein family I guess. Besides ol' dubya is on a roll, who is going to care in 5 years what Saddam had one way or the other. Half the Democrats I know are kicking themselves for not having dealt with this skank back in 1998 so they couldve taken all this glory for themselves.

Well savor the flavor suckers, because all of you got walked out the door after election day, and look who's getting the medal of freedom for finally getting rid of that damn Saddam and the rest of his clan now, eh? Yeah thats right baby, you pal Georgie boy, that's who. You suckers... hehehehe - oops no smiling, no laughing it would look bad. look ominous...stare straight ahead and hey wouldja look at the AP photographer!, zowie!, boy talk about your "slam dunks", hehehehe. I gotta remember that one...

Man, I can't believe they let me stay in this job after they came to town. I really thought my goose was cooked, but you just never know how things are going to turn out, do you? I mean, how I escaped getting my hide nailed to the outhouse door over the USS Cole, the Tanzanian embassy, and the failure to notice all that activty around jet pilot training, I have no idea.

I wonder if I should run for President some day. Yeah, I like the sound of that; "President Tenet" it kind of rolls of the tongue. That would make those bastards who called me fat in high school sit up and finally take notice, you betcha. No, I wasnt the captain of the footba...uh oh... he's talking about those "aluminum tubes" again. Man, thats really gonna leave a mark when they find out they are really just curtain rods. Time to look at my notes like I'm really interested and nod my head up and down like I agree.

Oh man, Negropontes starting to get all "parochial school" on me with the sideways looks again. I gotta stop drifting off on these things, I really gotta start working out more. Come on Colin, wrap this sucker up wouldja, I gotta date waiting for me at 'The Smokehouse' at midtown in about an hour... "
