Leon Panetta's Phony Tough Guy Act
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/09/14 | Cliff Kincaid

Anti-Americanism is on the march worldwide, and Panetta's fingerprints are all over the unfolding disasters. That's why he's spending his TV time criticizing his boss

It’s amazing what people will do when they are selling books. Former Obama CIA director and Pentagon chief Leon Panetta is sounding like a war hawk in promoting Worthy Fights, his new book about the foreign policy disasters of the Obama administration.

Obama has “lost his way,” Panetta says, hoping people won’t notice how Panetta guided the way for much of the time, from one disaster to another.

Trying to set up Hillary for a run and that is about it.

I don't know why Panetta chose to expose Obama (especially 4 weeks before an election!) but I'm glad he did.

Even Jimmah is condemning Obama's actions (a miracle).

Yup, that is about it. He’s a long-time, partisan Democrat hack to the core and owes everything he is to the Arkansas crime syndicate.

When Panetta was in a position of authority he supported all these programs. He defended them and worked to implement them.

Only after he left office does he put on this phony act that he had opposed them.

As soon as I heard that Panetta was complaining about 0bama, I knew it was a move to help the Beast.

Funny, how Gates and Panetta both couldn't kowtow enough to 0bama when they were in office, and they were both piss poor SecDefs

It is obvious that Panetta is condemning Obama to help Hillary. He says he told Obama that the attack at Benghazi was a terrorist attack early on. Of course he did not mention Hillary. I wonder if Obama will “out” Hillary now, so he could cover his sorry ars. Dog fight, hopefully.

When asked why Panetta did not send in Military assistance during Benghazi, Leon replied: “YOU DON’T SEND FORCES INTO HARM’S WAY BEFORE YOU HAVE ASSEMBLED ALL THE FACTS.”

BTW, what would Warrior, such as General Patton, have said?

My thought on the Panetta book was that he was attempting to open up some space between the Clinton Democrats and Obama, prior to the 2016 election. Hillary can’t do it, herself, because of Benghazi. Panetta has always been a Clinton Democrat.

I have always found Panetta to seem a slick greasy democrat lawyer.

If he were so concerned about the future and status of our country he would not have been so hesitant in the way he responded to Bill O’Reilly’s questions.

I guess that politics, in his eyes, is more important than the survival of this nation.

Panetta was feigning profound concern and acted wounded to tell all about Obama. In fact he told very little that we did not already know. His trepidation about ‘ratting out’ obama was not believable. He had an entirely different agenda than simply screwing over obama.

Patton would have pivoted his troops 90 degrees, marched them 60 miles in subzero temperatures without a hot meal, engaged the enemy and defeated the islamofascists. He would have settled for nothing less than total victory.

Or as he used to be known under Clinton: Lie-on Penetta.
