Panetta as Defense Secretary. Good Lord.
heck, based on much of what I have read about panetta’s disagreements with obama, panetta comes out looking like an american compared to the white house.
does make me wonder why he (or petraeus) would be given a position anywhere.
When you consider that the next SecDef is going to have his hands full codifying the terms under which gays may openly serve, Panetta is probably the better pick from Obama’s standpoint. Petreaus, or any uniformed officer, might throw sand in the gears.
