” - - - Remember that Panetta supported the Soviet-backed Nicaraguan Sandinistas and opposed the Reagan-backed Nicaraguan Resistance. - - - “
I had forgotten that fact. What was Panetta’s government position then?
Panetta was a member of the Dimwit majority in U.S. House of Representatives. In 1983, he sponsored a bill to defund the pro-American Nicaraguan Resistance.
In 1984, Panetta went to Nicaragua and had a love fest with his pro-Soviet Sandinista hosts. He blamed Nicaragua’s problems on the resistance rather than the commies in power.
Panetta is either a communist or a willing dupe of the communists. His record suggests the former. Regardless, he is unfit for any public office and would only be selected for Secretary of Defense by an enemy of the Republic.
