IOW, Panetta says, “it’s not my fault.” That must also mean that he has credible evidence that he warned Obama and warned him, and warned him ... there’s a briefing book history tied to briefings never attended, recommendations that the weapons were about to go rogue and intervention was needed NOW but President Jarrett said “no.” This time Panetta couldn’t finesse her, the Bin Laden raid was a one-time thing and she caught on to the process. He is washing his hands. This is going to rip wide open.
I think you are right. I think the OBL op went down around VJ and was a done deal by the time those two (VJ and BO) got the word. I think Leon used up his last best ‘wish’ on that one.
