From Kos - So Tired Of Panetta

[hatrack]

EDIT

I want and have a President who is an adult. Who admits uncertainty and exercises caution before engaging on an issue or solution. America apparent wants an ass kicking cowboy who adheres to the policy of ready, fire aim. They call it being decisive and bold. I call it stupid and disrespectful of the harm that bad decisions can do to our people.

Look what ready, fire, aim got us in the Bush era. Deception. Malfeasance leading up to 9-11. More deception to make it look like Iraq made any sense. Throwing no-strings attached money at the banking industry at the onset of the great meltdown, without accountability. the long war. The list is enormous.

Leon, you and your type are pompous, self-serving protectors of the establishment from which you came and with whom you have earned your stripes as their boy. You conflate your catholic certainty of the “truth” and autocratic infallibility with leadership.

I want candor. I want, yes, human frailty in my leaders. I want humanity in my leadership. President Obama is bright enough to know that he’d become a human punching bag with people like you. I respect his courage and willingness to lead us through the fog in spite of this punishment.

1. Obama's big mistake: allowing a mini-Clinton Cabal to populate the CIA, the

Pentagon, and the State Department. They weren't working for YOU, buddy. Do you know that now?

2. A Clintonite angling for his clan

3. Exactly. Like almost all Clintonians.

4. I'm not sure how attacking the current Dem President helps the next nominee.

Guess I just don't know the game of politics that well.

(but me too, I am tired of Pannetta.)

5. I think the game is to separate Hillary from Obama especially in terms

of foreign policy, or so it seems.

Looks like we're going to have Jihad in the mix for a while so Hillary may have to speak to the Democratic handling, supposed bungling during the campaign.

She can get off the hook saying she wanted to arm the Free Syrian Army but Obama held back -- as she did in her book.

Well I want her to win but don't like the games. Then again she'll have to be a hawk and a hardcore player in this country to get elected as a woman.
