Former CIA Director George Tenet: Al Qaeda is in America
Fox News ^ | 27 Apr 2007 | Unknown

Al Qaeda is in the United States, former CIA Director George Tenet says, and he’s surprised there have not been more attacks on American soil.

“I do know one thing in my gut,” Tenet writes in his upcoming book. “Al Qaeda is here and waiting.”

Tenet, who served as CIA chief from 1997 to 2004, questioned how Al Qaeda hasn’t sent “suicide bombers to cause chaos in a half-dozen American shopping malls on any given day.”

Tenet's 549-page book, "At the Center of the Storm," published by HarperCollins, is set to hit the bookstores on Monday. ...more

Harry’s left implant seems to have shifted. Has he been taking flights on Nancy’s Concorde?

Tenet is a 'Rat and GW was wrong to trust him, period. I do think GW thought there could be genuine bi-partisanship on intel matters, as there once used to the on the Senate Intel Committee..... but we have seen how the Demagogues have trashed all idea of putting nation above party, of both parties working together to protect national security, etc. The 'Rats look to take dishonest, propagandistic shots at the Republicans whenever possible, the MSM enables and furthers this process, and Tenet is just following the usual 'Rat script. Your eloquent words bear repeating:

"This man presided over the largest, most deadly intelligence failure in US History on 9/11. He then went on to screw up the intelligence on Iraq. Now, to escape blame for historic incompetency, he does what all Democrats do, blame Republicans in a book. All the while knowing the dishonest, disgraceful media in this country will help him in his mission. What a total POS this guy is."

If they know they're here, why don't they do something about it, like deport them?

Because they do jobs Americans won't do. /sarc

Perhaps by monitoring them, we just might mind you... have some intel coming to us that we might not have otherwise.

This comes as a surprise to people? This warning was being issued about al qaeda being in America since 1996-97 when a few retiring CIA and FBI folks wrote books and did the talk show circut.

But this latest “startling news” via Tenet is being spun out that Tenet directly blames Cheney for this...LOL...of course.

Clinton had three years to rid out nation of those thugs and failed. Because of Clinton’s failure they are still here.

Three years? Try eight years starting with WTC 1.

If they were not on American soil, we wouldn’t need the intel.

Why does everyone forget about WTC 93 and TWA 800? Why was Youseff making many phone calls to western Baghdad before WTC 93? What indeed was going on on TWA 800?

They often can’t trace it back to an individual. They have indicators and get traffic for example, but they can’t pinpoint it to a person.

The simple and obvious answer is politically incorrect. Truly implement boarder security and massively reform immigration policy.

I am sure that after eight years in office that President Bush will have each of these AQ Thugs that are now in America in Prison or in a Grave.

If they attacked here it would strengthen George Bush and the Republicans and their interest is in strengthening a different party so after the next election things will be better for them.

Exactly so. And this is such a key point, it drives me crazy that the republican leadership--not to mention the citizenry--cannot grasp the importance of this simple, central point:

We. Have. Not. Been. Attacked.

The enemy has not given up. They've not lost interest or changed their goals. They've declared over and over both their unwavering desire and sworn intent to strike as at home on a scale equal to or worse than 9-11. That they haven't cannot be sheer luck.

If for no other reason than that one revelation by Tenet--al-qaeda is HERE--I hope Tenet's book gets tons of media play.
