May 6 Preview: Tenet and Edwards
Former CIA director George Tenet will appear on NBC's "Meet the Press" to discuss his new book, "At the Center of the Storm: My Years at the CIA." In it, Tenet says he was made a scapegoat for the bungled intelligence in the Iraq war -- a claim that prompted former CIA officials to say Tenet failed to emphasize skepticism about the intelligence before the war.
Meanwhile, a week after the first Democratic debate, former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) appears on ABC's "This Week." And just a few days after the first GOP debate, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), who has taken a hard stance against illegal immigration, is interviewed on ABC.
Otherwise, the topic on the Sunday shows will be the war -- and the next step for the White House and Congress after President Bush's veto of a war spending bill that set a timetable for withdrawal.
"Fox News Sunday" hosts Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio). CBS's "Face the Nation" interviews Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) and former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), a potential presidential candidate.
And CNN's "Late Edition" has Sens. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

I am now convinced that the biggest threat this Country faces is NOT terrorism, it is
incompetent people in positions of authority. This administration has deminstrated to the world that incompetence coupled with arrogance can do far more harm than terrorism.
I think the message of losing 50 states might wake up the republican party......but then again, based on what I've seen it might not!

Tenet saved his job and left us with Iraq.

Since the poor are recruited to fight the Iraq War, Bushie's rich buddies should be recruited to do their "share" by paying for the war. Forget about a withdrawal date and funding from congress. Let the wealthy oil companies, other corporations and rich individuals show their patriotism. Bush and Cheney should be first in line!
