And MATA…Panetta “defending his own”?? You got to remember he is a political flunky (read WEASEL) he is NOT “CIA”, he’s a guy that sits at a desk and does what the boss tells him.. today it’s CIA, tomorrow???? The mans forte was budget issues and some environmental stuff,, and Law/Legal Firm work…… WHERE does anyone see QUALIFICATIONS to run a, well call it what it is, a SPY and Intel gathering operation!! Guy is a stooge and flunky…. has no background in it…. so what do you expect from him..LOYALTY??? He’s loyal to himself and the machine that pays him…. currently, the DEMOCRATIC machine… and that’s too bad, because we need a SAVVY CAREER guy in there…. not a “trainee”!!!

Now they’re blaming MI5, too. Of course, if the intelligence agencies reported on all disaffected young men with questionable “friends” Obambi wouldn’t stack up so well, either, would he?

Obama is still doing the on-the-job trainning on how to act like a president. That means that the terrorist will continue to attack our country. And Obama will continue to blame others for his short comings. When it’s not Bush or Cheney it will be anybody that’s convenient, but surely not himself. His plan to prosecute those in the Bush administration for allowing waterboarding is another blunder this idiot will never understand, it will open the doors to mass terrorism in this country.

Everybody knows that organizations rot from the top. The 9/10 mentality that BamBam has been broadcasting worldwide is what is wrong.

Like the new year, BamBam isn’t really ready for an important job.

What does he have to show for his world apology tours but a whole lot of CO2?

Just stumbled into this forum for the first time. I’ve enjoyed reading the good-natured back and forth banter here. I shall visit more often.

The Beatles? Remember just before the Beatles went all AFU when they said they were more popular than Jesus?…

Mata,

Nah, we were never on opposite sides. We’re both appalled at the politicization of the WOT.

Cheney laid it out very well. The current administration refuses to take the WOT seriously.

Mata,

That’s a good point about Panetta. I’d forgotten that twit should have been out in front defending his guys.

But, of course, Panetta is a political animal.

Enough said.

Okay on the 9 ball. We won’t play for beer, though, as I’m not much of a pool player. (understatement of the year)

I’d rather hit the range, pop off a few rounds and head for a beer after.

@Blake #18 and #19…. ROTFLMAO! Glad to see your sense of humor… and sense of fair play… emerge. That’s all I wanted to hear, guy. INRE the brew… I’ll buy you one, and hope you shall do the same for me over a game of 9-ball.

As I said, not unsympathetic to your justified annoyance at their prior faux pas via the leadership. But they behaved well in this case, and I’ll have their backs for doing so. And I do honor their service in general. We have bad apples everywhere…. Pentagon, military, Congress and at all points in leadership. Hang, can’t say as I’m the least bit fond of Panetta. Speaking of…. have you heard him coming out and defending his own?? But of course not… scum bag.

But I appreciate the change in tone, Blake. I knew we weren’t on complete opposite sides. Guess we just had “a failure to communicate”, yes?
