Leon flies home to California on the weekends. We’ve got a couple of wars going on, and he flies home to California on the weekends. He’s really committed himself to winning, hasn’t he? Every Soldier walking point in the Korengal Valley can take comfort knowing that Leon “Frequent Fliar” Panetta is home watching out for himself. I can see the meetings.
“Mr. Secretary.....what should we do in Afghanistan?”
“Have you seen the pictures of my new pool?”
“Mr. Secretary.....what weapons will we need in the future?”
“Do you like this carpet, or should we go with a shag?”
“Mr. Secretary.....will we have enough units to win?”
“Did the wind blow over any trees in my yard?”
I tried to comment on your post this morning - but FR was down for several hours today - or I have a bug in my PC? Anyway, Every time I hear mention of the Korengal, my blood boils to think what the evil traitor in Chief has done, with impunity, to our troops since he took office - beginning with his murderous Taliban favored ROE - to, in April 2010, pulling our troops out and gifting the Korengal (especially "Restrepo") to the Taliban - complete with great cache of weapons and NOW that the Taliban have had time to take over the Valley and get dug in hard, he's sending even smaller numbers of our troops back into that hell hole.
I pray to live to see the day this Traitor in Chief gets his just deserts. Although I can't think of any punishment that could equal what he's due.
