Maybe he was just being modest.

Four direct quotes from Porter Goss, who was recently nominated by Bush to be head of the CIA:

"It is true I was a case officer, clandestine services officer, and yes, I do understand the core mission of the business. But I couldn't get a job with the CIA today. I am not qualified."

"I don't have the language skills. I, you know, my language skills were Romance languages and stuff. We're looking for Arabists today. I don't have the cultural background, probably."

"And I certainly don't have the technical skills, uh, as my children remind me every day, 'Dad you got to get better on your computer.'

"Uh, so, the things that you need to have, I don't have."

He said these things a mere five months ago. Lets hope he's boned up on his skillz in the meantime. Not that Bush would know a qualified candidate from a hole in the ground. If you don't like Dan getting political, then scroll down and read about Dave Matthew's poop.

Your so opinionated.How do you know George Bush wasin't assuming his kids could help him out with the computer logistics.
Did he actually say "uh" or did you add that for effect.

Those are actually the transcripts from his interview with Michael Moore. Cut 'n' Paste. Something Mr. Goss probably doesn't know how to do.
