Something to e-mail to every talking head, every Senator and every House rep.

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.

What did he think was happening when they blew up one of the walls of the mission in June? Why did the British move out? What constitutes advance notice?

Maybe the president could have authorized some air power.

Pinhead Penetta. What an idiot.

If Panchetta is one of the "best and brightest" as advertised. This Country is in deep, deep sh*t

This clown would have a tough time pouring pee out of his boot (with directions written on the heel).

The Panetta Doctrine:

"The U.S. military doesn't do bold or risky things, not even to rescue Americans under fire. Sorry."

“The fundamental fact is this: in order for us to be able to move quickly – we have to have some advance notice that something is going to happen and in this case we didn’t have that.”

The Condoleezza Rice Defense

... and that of so many failures in charge, throughout history. There has to be some “medal” that is awarded every quarter at each military academy, to the cadet or midshipman who utters in class, “If I’d only known the time and the place.”

That award, should be henceforth called Panetta’s Fig Leaf Cluster.
