Former CIA Director George Tenet said he regretted assuring President Bush in 2002 that he had "slam dunk" evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

"Those were the two dumbest words I ever said," Tenet told about 1,300 people at a Kutztown University forum Wednesday.
Are you sure? :icon27: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I mean, we've only lost over 1000 soldiers and 300 billion dollars, thanks in large part to those two words.

Yep, a false blip normally will send him running to the nearest fortified bunker, but if it's a blip they were expecting then he can stay in the elementary school classroom and continue reading while Cheney handles things.
