The Facade of Change continues in Shrubville. The latest non-shakeup shakeup: CIA Director Porter Goss resigned. According to The New York Times:
CIA Director Porter Goss resigned unexpectedly Friday, nudged from the helm of a spy agency still reeling from intelligence failures before America's worst terrorist attack and faulty information that formed the U.S. rationale for invading Iraq.Another lame politically motivated attempt to get rid of those who bear the least responsibility for this administration's myriad of lies and blunders.
The decision was the latest in a series of moves by President Bush to shake up his team and reinvigorate his second term. A successor to Goss could come as early as Monday, a senior administration official said.
Making the announcement from the Oval Office, Bush said Goss' tenure had been one of transition.
''He has led ably,'' Bush said, Goss at his side. ''He has a five-year plan to increase the analysts and operatives.''
Sorry, guys. You can fool some of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time...but you can't fool me.
