Leon Panetta needs to shut the f**k up.
He was not CIA director at the time of these briefings. He has no knowledge of what was or wasn't said. He should keep his f'ing pie hole shut.

AND President Obama needs to reign in his entire cabinet. They are all over the fucking place. Geitner spewing his shit about entitlement programs, Larry summers talking stupid, and now Panetta. This is becoming EXACTLY what the republicans want--a circular firing squad.

1. He's lost control of Washington. Too many insiders for too long trying to cover their asses.
We all knew about torture for a long time.. How many of us called for impeachment back when Bush was in office? This is a ridiculous argument to have.. they did it.. Prosecute and lock them ALL up. Take down any side that took part. We'd be good to rid ourselves of all the traitors.

3. Disagree
People need to read what he said and report it accurately. Especially the media. He needs to defend his agency and try to build them back up. At the same time he needs to weed out the bad apples.

4. Defend them how? He wasn't there at the time. Anything he says is based on one-side hearsay!!!

9. Thanks for the voice of reason. Too few and far in betweeen these days.
I wish everyone would calm down.

The MSM is having a freaking field day on how Obama's liberal base is turning on him.

It's not helping matters.

5. Panetta is protecting his agency. Being a leader. Something thats been missing over there.
Bottom line is Pelosi should have never said they lied to her. Thats a terrible political move.

7. She should have let them pin this all on her?
If they lied... she HAS to call them on it.

19. Yeah, I think it's going to burn her ass, maybe not down to the ground, but it'll hurt.
I'm just sorry it wasn't Reid who said it. }(

13. Yes we are and I couldn't be more pleased with the President.
However, the progressive/socialist wing of the Democratic party is a different story, so I think when Obama's 2 terms are up, I'm going to stop voting for Dem Presidents. That way when the progressives members of the party continually trash the President in their pathetic attempts to make him fail so they can feel good about themselves, I wouldn't care.

23. Panetta wouldn't last long under my admin, he's cut against the prez too many times...
...and he would be gone.

I wouldn't accept the amount of resistance Panetta is giving.
