Former Secretary of Defense breaks down history in upcoming memoir
Obama’s former Secretary of Defense and Director of the CIA, Leon Panetta, has blamed the president for the chaos unfolding in Iraq.
Time previewed Panetta’s upcoming memoir, Worthy Fights: A Memoir of Leadership in War and Peace. In the book, Panetta said he and others in the Obama administration pushed for a residual force of U.S. troops to remain in Iraq but their efforts were stymied by White House.

Cover for Hillary. She did everything she could but it was Obama’s fault.
Panetta is a major Clintonista so he’s throwing Obola under the 2016 Hillary Campaign bus, they just haven’t put the stickers on it yet.
Surprised that he hasn’t admitted yet that he, Panetta, was the one who made the decision to get Osama — when Obama hesitated.
I’m happy Panneta is saying this but he, too, abandoned those poor men fighting on top of the Benghazi rooftops, and ole Leon himself was once an army Intel officer.
This is a good news development, but I will not forget that.
Not so fast Panetta.He knew exactly what was happening to the nation’s military and security forces and what these clowns were doing. He had the moral responsibility to resign as a matter of principle and tell the country exactly why. He was definitely part of the problem and cannot absolve himself.
pResident Obola needs to transform himself back to private life. He needs to resign or be forced out politically.
Yep. Long knives from the Clinton camp.
Don’t expect the Chicago Mob to take this lying down though.
The bloody Democrat Civil War that has long been predicted may be about to get underway.
Good. Criminals fighting criminals.
“He was definitely part of the problem and cannot absolve himself.”
You are absolutely correct, and the same can be said about Hillary. If she didn’t know what was happening, she was incompetent as SOS. If she did, and said nothing, she’s complicit.
Never forget that it was he and G. Mitchell who lied to G.H.W. Bush about tax cuts, etc. He has the moral turpitude of a black widow female spider.
Panetta angling for a job in the next Clinton admin?
How can a building act? Why not come right out and say it was stymied by Obama?
And how was Obama supposed to know?? He had no experience coming into this job and not smart enough to learn. The puppet has no say in any of this.
Panetta appears to be the designated hatchetman to go after Obama on behalf of Hillary. I wonder what the quid pro quo will be this time.
The Obama Media may be trying to do everything they can to minimize the magnitude of the disaster and just how badly Obama screwed things up, but the situation is so bad it's getting hard to sweep things under the rug for even the most die hard media sycophant.
Obama’s actions are going to go down in history as a monumental disaster manufactured by a feckless fool. Future history may even record that Obama has out Nevilled Neville Chamberlain.
Guys like Panetta don't want their names spoken of in the same breath as other historical screw ups on the order of Neville Chamberlain, Lyndon Johnson, Maj. Gen. George McClellan and George Armstrong Custer by every 10th grade high school history student for the next few centuries so they are going to be back peddling like crazy to deflect the blame.
As Obama’s power wanes, the horror stories that are going to start coming out regarding the Obama years are going to be devastating, especially as the consequences begin to come to light.
A perfect example is the recent Obama driven border crisis. There currently is a Polio like virus that came into county across the border with some of the illegal alien children.
Obama warehoused these illegals in confined conditions perfect for spreading diseases from infected to non infected illegals to cover up his actions in an election year and then secretly dispersed these infected children in small groups all around the country right at the start of the new school year, seeding the spread disease nation wide into an American student population with no resistance to the new disease.
The old Soviet Unions most clever biological warfare strategists could not have come with a better plan to spread a bio agent in the United States and as a result, children are dying and being left paralyzed by the disease Obama imported and willfully spread. Obama may have single handedly reversed 60 years of American medical progress in stamping out previous scourge diseases like polio, whooping cough, tuberculosis, measles by opening the flood gates to the entry of third world illegal aliens infected with diseases long since eradicated in the US
Going forward as the beheadings reach epidemic proportions in Iraq and begin spreading to America like the other viruses Obama has infected this country with, guys like Chris Mathews are going to be more concerned with the prospect for blood running down their legs, figuratively and literally, than they were for the thrill running up their legs now that Obama’s leadership is crashing and burning and the thrill becomes increasingly gone in Obama’s relationship with the American people
If he is covering for Hitlery, then he better be ready to cover for her on Benghazi because Obama and his minions are ready to destroy her the moment she deviates from the plan.
Did not Panetta work for the Obama administration at one point?
Panetta is definitely a Clintonesta! He is absolutely covering for Hillary by publicly stating that he and she supported a residual force in Iraq. However, Obama can fire back and put Benghazi squarely on Hillary. If that happens Panetta better be ready to spill the beans on what happened that night.
