So Confused, and Then Again...

This writer admits to being so confused. But I think they "get" it.

Mark D. Roberts has a great take on the George Tenet resignation. Best quote in Mark's piece:

From what has been said – and NOT said -- by supporters and opponents of the Bush Administration alike, most of the talking heads simply can’t comprehend that Tenet would actually resign because he wants to be a better dad. This tells us far more about the talking heads than about the CIA head himself. Consider, for example, the comments of former CIA chief Stansfield Turner. He says that he disbelieves Tenet’s stated reason for resigning. “I think he’s being pushed out or made a scapegoat,” Turner explained. Now of course Turner might be right. But it sounds to me like he simply can’t believe that a man of Tenet’s position and power would actually resign because he put his family above his career.

Imagine, giving up all that power and career goals to be a better dad to your senior-in-high-school son! I applaud George Tenet for his decision. May the Lord bless him.
