This would be a HUGE embarassment for Obama despite all media attempts to claim its simply for “personal reasons”.

The scary thing is: who will Obama pick to replace Panetta? it would have to be somebody who agrees with the investigation of the interrogators!

When Rats eat their own it’s a wunerful thang__even though ugaly on the merits.

Would a Panetta replacement have to be confirmed by the Senate?

How about Bill Ayers? I hear he’s an expert on terror.

Personally, my bets are that OBOZO has become sufficiently deranged with his perceived power, that he will make his closest Friend, Ally, Mentor and Ghostwriter, William Ayers, the New CIA DIRECTOR by decree!......:-(

Right on both counts. But it would be an embarrassment only if Panetta were honest about why he was resigning, should resignation actually happen.

If it did, the replacement possibilities are scary. Chavez?

The scary thing is: who will Obama pick to replace Panetta? it would have to be somebody who agrees with the investigation of the interrogators!Obama would have to send a nominee up to the Senate Intelligence Committee at some point. Imagine the opportunity for speechifying on the entire topic of potential indictments at CIA?

Bill Ayers?

Who would replace Panetta ?...why Janet Reno of course...Of all the losers Obrama has surrounding him, she would fit in perfectly, especially since she knows nothing about Intelligence matters and she is a solid defender of the boss...Perfect for Rahm and Hussein...
