Is a “panetta” some sort of malignant disease?

It’s some kind of moldy bread.

I think that Pres elect Trump was getting inaccurate intelligence and found out about it from another country or source that he trusts.

“And you can have a lot of bright people and they can present you a lot of options. But unless you’ve taken the time as president to understand those issues, to read into those issues, to understand the consequences of those issues, you cannot just rely on others to tell you what you should or shouldn't do,” he continued. “You've got to make the decision.”

Very true. Over the last eight years we have had not so smart leftist idealogues providing options to a not very smart leftist idealogue President. A dreadful combination.

I'm not here as much as I used to be; I guess that that applies to you too. And yes, it's nice to see one of the "old crowd" posting; not many of us still here!

That was on my BUCKET LIST too ( Castro's death ) and am looking forward, with great glee, to President Trump taking the oath of office and moving into a heavily cleaned and fumigated White House.

DJT is a businessman. He knows how to inform himself. He doesn’t need that advice. And he certainly doesn’t need any informing from panetta

IIRC, there are meds for that, but poor Leon is far too OLD for it to matter/work now, ;^)

It is being widely reported that this policy of not talking to Taiwan goes back to Carter. Does that mean that Trump is the first president to talk to Taiwan

SINCE REAGAN???????

Perhaps a bit too many got banned. Remember Peach. She was one of my favorites.

Says the CIA director that should have seen ISIS coming before he became the man in a position to nip it in the bud early on as the Secretary of Defense... not to mention anything about Benghazi, now lecturing the PE about how things should be done as they have been while he’s been involved. Yeah... you can’t make this stuff up.

obama skipped the briefing after the Benghazi attack. One year (2014) he only made 42% of the meetings. That said, I hope that Trump makes these meetings once he is in office.

Of course I remember Peach. :-)

Yes, many did get banned and have been replaced by...well, I shan't say, but I hope you get my drift.

New nic and sign-up?

Did we used to know each other?

Rest assured that The Donald, workhorse that he is, SHALL be at all of the meetings and won’t rely on others to make the decisions! Nor shall Trump take a gizzillion vacations, play golf all of the time, nor waste taxpayers’ money on crap.

Of course... it is inconceivable that this dolt is giving Trump advice here given the past 8 yrs. He was the CIA director that spearheaded the PR campaign against waterboarding while ISIS became relevant... that as Secretary of Defense was more concerned about repealing don’t-ask-don’t-tell and putting women into combat roles than containing what had become a regional ISIS threat. This moron either could not see the forest for the trees or was working for the enemy. Either way, the notion that Trump should listen to him given the state of the world today is laughable.

"This is why Donald Trump is not taking the PDB: The Intelligence Community tries to “set the agenda”."

Addendum...

If The Donald is shrewd (and I sincerely believe he is) he will not fully trust any advice that comes from a current or former CIA Director (including and especially GHWB).

I’m guessing that Trump is well enough informed to know for fact that there are not 57 states. Yeah, and how many times did Zero meet with his cabinet and put through a budget? Panetta needs to look to Obama and stop projecting on Trump.

You sir will have a viking funeral. We will light these phuckers on fire to light your boat.

If you are kind enough not to die too soon you can watch us fire these phuckers at someone elses boat who would be as honored to have these ass wipes be the lighter.

hang on please. It is going to be the best time of your entire life except for the kids and grandkids thing.
