Panetta sounds like a genuine idiot. Surrender? Nuts!

[Jim Robinson]

Fumbled that 3:00 am call.

[Free Bee]

Panetta serving up extra large portions of B.S. tonight!

I know this is satire (hard to tell now-a-days), but the following was ABSOLUTLY taken into consideration:

“By declining to charge in we at least have no Libyan blood on our hands.”

I'm a bit surprised that you didn't have him also say "We also need to respect the air space of a sovereign nation".

[TigersEye]

Drone video, site security video and a guy on the ground on the phone just doesn’t give you a full picture. We need to give the terrorists some sat phones or iPads so they can send us their side of the fight to look at.

[GeronL]

“It's to be expected that persons in their position would have a rather narrow perspective of the situation,”

lol!! I would not put it past them. Optimally they won't put the bumps in the road in those words.

[ConservativeChris]

“we couldn’t be sure how many reinforcements to send.”

Umm, ALL OF THEM!

HE IS A FREAKING ASSHAT!

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

Don’t add the satire tag to the front end, John. Don’t let them do that to you.

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

Don’t add the satire tag to the front end, John. Don’t let them do that to you.

Since this attack happened on foreign soil, I’m surprised they didn’t claim they couldn’t differentiate between the good and bad guys. Video being grainy, it being night time and all...

Did anyone of them take a potty break during this 7 hour violent action movie? I’m sure bozo took a pot break.

At the end of this “movie” did the credits say “I am barack obama and I approve of this message”?

[The Cajun]

What's bad here is that your satire is more believable than what Obozo and the boys are coming up with.
Heck, a satire less absurd than White House explanations......... Interesting concept.

[maine-iac7]

this is not a subject for satire.

I rather think that anyone who who lost a son that night would not think so - ever.

and we all lost sons that night - they were ours.

this is throwing fuel on the fire - for what? a chance for some attention - to show cleverness?

[gunsmithkat]

An Obama supporting friend of mine said: “He had his reasons. No biggie.” They really are spinning...

[BipolarBob]

It wasn’t optimal.

[Rappini]

They were afraid of what Putin my do if we sent our military in to protect the CIA complex and it’s occupants. Does the term Candy A$$ mean anything to ya.

[CAluvdubya]

“There was always the chance that an attempt to rescue the Ambassador might make things worse,” Panetta added. “As it now stands, only four Americans were killed. If we had sent in troops there likely would've been more casualties on both sides. By declining to charge in we at least have no Libyan blood on our hands.”

John, I actually heard one of the Dem talking heads on FNC yesterday say, "If we sent in planes to help they could have crashed and then we'd be talking about the casualties from that!"

Dumbest thing I've ever heard!

Satire looses it’s effect when it’s less absurd than the official administration story.

[ReformationFan]

‘The Secretary brushed off reports that those under attack were desperately pleading for help. “It’s to be expected that persons in their position would have a rather narrow perspective of the situation,” he said. “It’s hard to appreciate the bigger picture when you’re in fear for your life. Those of us with broader responsibilities must maintain a calmer demeanor and balance the costs and benefits of escalating the confrontation.”’

Reminds me of the line Gene Hackman’s Luthor says to his henchman Otis in “Superman: The Movie”: “Your life which I would gladly sacrifice by the way.” How magnaminous of Luthor/Panetta!
