Barack Obama is set to name Leon Panetta as the next Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In light of that fact, it’s worthwhile to look pack at Panetta’s relationship with the agency (and its Director) when he was the Director of Bill Clinton’s OMB, and later his Chief of Staff.
When Jim Woolsey became Bill Clinton’s CIA Director in 1993, he elected to build on an intelligence community reform put in place by his predecessor (current SecDef Bob Gates). He wanted to improve the CIA’s cooperation with the Department of Defense. But in doing so, he ran afoul of Panetta.

Like I said earler, this is the same guy that couldn’t figure out that his boss was doing the “Monica” right under his nose.
Who’da thunk it. “Change” means filling an administration with has-beens, retreads and deep insider party hacks.
It’s almost funny. Almost.

It is all about an army of party hacks. When POWER AND CONTROL matter most, you don’t focus on competent, skilled people....you focus on picks like this.
Listen to what Savage says about this and it’ll scare the hell out of you.
Has he chosen anyone to fill a position that they are qualified for? ;-)
After Savage trashed Palin, I don’t think so...
Can he hold a security clearance? Seems he left congress during one of it’s scandals, just ahead of being brought into it.
As I see the future of our country unfold, I am no longer convinced that a Russian invasion wouldn’t have been any worse.
Damn those libs, damn the democrats and damn ALL that voted that filthy POS into Office. Damn them, damn them all, damn them all to hell.
I think I need a cold beer... and I don’t drink anymore.
Leon Panetta? The one famous for his knowledge of security, international politics and agency management? Yeah, right.
I bet there’s resignations hitting the desk even as we speak.
I’m not sure that old Leon could find his own way to the bathroom.
cheers
God help this country!
Myabe you, the press or some other FReeper can tell us what Obama says is the reason why he is appointing Panetta to this position. So far this crucial bit of propaganda has been absent from all accounts.
Hillary, the new Secretary of State
and
Leon, CIA Director?
Queen Bee Nancy P. isn't happy!
And we thought Team Clinton didn't have anything on ole Barry?
Wasn’t it under Clinton that the CIA was fragmented where no one agency was sharing vital info with another, hence 9/11? Panetta is a good choice for them because he is controllable. Our a##es are out in the wind, we are truley indeep doo doo! We will be assaulted on all fronts, the change coming we all saw but the mindless zombies who followed do not and will not!
Goodness gracious NO...that would be above his pay grade!
LOL! Point well taken. ;-)
The “pay grade” is really going to be the defining description of the reign of King Obama!
