TPMtv Guide: Monday, May 7
Ladies and gentlemen, the former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Much like last Thursday’s, today’s episode is another TPMtv Newsreel. This one is a montage of George Tenet’s interview with Tim Russert on yesterday’s Meet the Press. We spliced it together with some clips of speeches by President Bush during the march to war in Iraq. The opening sequence is from an October 7, 2002 speech in Cincinnati, Ohio – a previous draft of which included Niger/uranium language that was specifically expunged on the command of George Tenet and his deputies… only to reappear in the President’s 2003 State of the Union address a few months later. The second series of clips you’ll see is from the President’s Address to the Nation on March 17, 2003, in which he gives Saddam Hussein 48 hours to leave Iraq or face military conflict. And the last clip we show you is, of course, from the 2003 State of the Union address.
