Moltke ~:” ( from the article) Leon Panetta, pictured today in London, said there was ‘no justification for the kidnapping and murder of innocent people’ in Algeria and warned militants there was ‘no place to hide’ “

Yeah , like how did that ‘proper response’ work in Lybia (4 months ago)
where the brazen attackers remained out in the open ?
Panetta is still trying to write that post-it note in response!

Good point. Please, Leon, tell us the justification for doing nothing while 41 State Dept. and CIA employees were being shot at and firebombed?

Three Facts

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.

Did Leon make the recommendation to 0bama to fuhgeddaboudit and go to bed?
