O'Reilly puts Iraq blame on Tenet
Promoting his recent memoir, former CIA Director George Tenet appeared on Bill O'Reilly's show Wednesday night, where he was criticized for the mismanagement of the war in Iraq.
"We needed to have an integrated plan from beginning middle to end, and we didn't," Tenet said.
O'Reilly pressed for accountability. "Whose fault? Is it your fault? Don't you think people have a right to know," O'Reilly asked Tenet, who demured and said the media was too concerned with blame.
Tenet said the intelligence community was not at fault for Iraq's destabilization. "Our reporting from Baghdad, beginning in July (2003) consistently told a story of, 'We have a problem here,'" Tenet said. "We don't comment on policy, but once we got on the ground, we said, 'Look we've got an insurgency brewing.'"
