Bill O’Reilly put former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on the hot seat tonight, and repeatedly grilled him on whether President Obama‘s foreign policy has been effective or a failure. Panetta insisted to O’Reilly that he doesn’t doubt Obama’s commitment to fighting America’s enemies, there’s just a question of whether he’s made the right decisions in carrying out that fight.
For example, Panetta says Obama did support providing a troop presence of thousands in Iraq, as he and others recommended, but the issue was “how hard did he fight to make it happen.”
O’Reilly asked Panetta why it feels like the Obama administration is taken by surprise in almost everything. Panetta said that since he’s left the White House, Obama has learned the importance of fighting ISIS, to which O’Reilly responded, “Oh, bull.”
When O’Reilly pressed Panetta for a straight answer on whether Obama’s foreign policy is an effective one, Panetta hesitated. He preferred to blame “mixed messages” from the White House as opposed to strong leadership from the previous few years.

Day late and a dollar short.
It’s never too late to expose and attack Obama.
Obama is a muslim and a traitor. More and more people are waking up to this fact, and yet too many still refuse to admit it.
From the portion of the interview that I saw, Yes, O’Reilly did a good job in hammering down on Panetta, but nevertheless Panetta pandered & equivocated & stammered a lot, but he did NOT say or do anything that resembled a damming attack or admission that 0dumb0 acted or did anything really bad at all. Maybe Panetta’s book reads different from the interview, but basically O’Reilly was not able to move Panetta to take any strong stands at all.
One can only hope. “A total collapse of the country”? I say bring it on!
