"It is up to Iranians to make decisions about who Iran's leaders will be. We respect Iranian sovereignty and want to avoid the United States being the issue inside of Iran."

CIA Director Leon Panetta, rather than having the integrity, balls, or both, to stand up and tell Obama that he agrees with Cheney's warnings, is now taking the tact of blaming Cheney, in case of further attacks, as WISHING them upon America.

This is a shill and further highlights the level to which Democrats and liberals will stoop to vilify anyone who dares object to the destructive and dangerous, unqualified, and astonishingly naive Islamic appeaser we are now suffering in the nation's White House.

All CIA Director Leon Panetta is revealing is that he himself is a COWARD!

It won't be Cheney's WISHING that will result in another attack, and Panetta knows that as well as anyone. If ANYTHING, it will be Panetta's ineptitude and cowardice in failing to tell Obama the truth about the calamitous direction his appeasement policies are taking; in having CIA agents, FBI agents, and soldiers on the battlefield to treat enemy combatants by reading them Miranda rights! Can you imagine a Marine or soldier telling an Islamic terrorist combatant caught setting a roadside bomb in Afghanistan "You have the right to remain silent?"

All Panetta is providing is his tacit admission that there will likely be more terrorist attacks down the road with the course Obama is leading us on; make no mistake about it.

If all the undermining of President Bush and our troops on the battlefield under the Democrats and liberals during his administration didn't cause any terrorist attacks, how in the world is Vice-president Cheney's support for stronger measures for protecting the American people, and keeping dangerous Islamic terrorist suspects in Guantanamo and off American soil, WISHING for an attack?

If one would take into account all the rantings and press releases heard around the world of Jack Murtha, John Kerry, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and all the other Democrats in Congress calling our soldiers and Marines "Nazis," "Murderers," "terrorizing women and children in the dark of night," saying "the war is lost," calling Gen. Petraeus a "liar," calling our troops actions as being the same as the actions of Pol Pot in Cambodia, and calling Pres. Bush and vice-Pres. Cheney "war criminals" at the height of the war in Iraq; how would that NOT be considered, by Panetta's reasoning, their WISHING for another terrorist attack, OR WORSE, that we suffered a complete defeat at the hands of the Islamic terrorists and Al Qaeda that we were fighting?

Did the previous Director of CIA, under Bush, George Tenet, go crying to the media to say that these "leaders" were almost WISHING for another terrorist attack with THEIR comments condemning, not only the President's policies, but the TROOPS themselves who were risking their lives on the battlefield?

Vice-president Cheney is simply voicing the opinion that many Americans share, and history has PROVEN to be true! You cannot reason with people who hold it as their destiny and duty to bring about your annihilation!

It won't be Dick Cheney's WISHING for another attack that will be the cause of the next one...

...it will be the cowardice, moral weakness, ignorance, and ineptitude of Barack Hussein Obama and the idiots and pretenders (Leon Panetta being prominent among them) he has surrounded himself with that will result in emboldening the enemy to attack a weakened America, and lead to the additional losses of American lives.

Barack Hussein Obama'a policies of appeasement and Muslim-love are paving the way for Iran, Al Qaeda, and every America-hating group on the planet to challenge and attack the American people...and Barack Hussein "Goddamn America" Obama is taking the first shots at sowing the seeds and paving the road of our destruction.

CIA Director Leon Panetta would do well to focus on the policies of his Commander-in-chief, not engaging in stupid and childish attacks on Cheney's warnings of their sure to be failure at succeeding in protecting us from what is sure to be the end result of their stupidity.

"Panetta told The New Yorker for an article in its June 22 issue that Cheney "smells some blood in the water" on the issue of national security"
_______________________________________________

QUESTION: If, as Panetta says, Vice-president Cheney "smells some blood in the water on the issue of national security," isn't Panetta then admitting that there is "blood in the water on the issue of national security" to be smelled?

QUESTION: If Cheney "smells blood in the water on the issue of national security," wouldn't it follow that Al Qaeda also smells some "blood in the water on the issue of national security"?

QUESTION: If Cheney, as an American who knows how to effectively fight terrorists as his record proves, "smells some blood in the water," doesn't it make more sense to enlist his support and to mine his wealth of knowledge in order to find the means to staunch the flow of "blood" rather than to make the asinine statement of childish accusation, rejection and whining that Panetta has chosen in response to those warnings?

Upon reading these comments coming from the Director of the CIA, Panetta ought to know that he is do nothing to staunch the flow of the smell of "some blood in the water," he is only signalling to the terrorists that they ought to be sniffing around too.

"Last month the former vice president offered a withering critique of Obama's policies and a defense of the Bush administration on the same day that Obama made a major speech about national security."

DELIBERATELY SKEWED CONTEXT?

Cheney's speech was scheduled for at least 3 weeks before Obama made the decision to give a rebuttal speech of his own ON THE SAME DAY that Cheney had already scheduled his!  Not the other way around as this AP writer would skew the context.

Vice-president Cheney didn't (as the propagandist who wrote this article suggests) offer his "withering critique" "on the same day that Obama made a major speech about national security"...Barack Obama chose to make his speech on the same day that Vice-president Cheney was already and beforehand scheduled to make his speech!  Barack Obama's entire speech was a pitiful and staged attempt at trying to offset the damage and embarrassment the White House realized that  was sure to result from Cheney's speech, and  to take the sting out of Cheney's "withering critique" of Obama's inane policies of Muslim terrorist @$$ki$$ing as a result of Obama's failed attempt to empty Guantanamo's terrorist prison camp and allow terrorist suspects to run free in American neighborhoods, while "relocating" here on the American taxpayer's dime.

Further (as if he has not humiliated himself enough):"Panetta said of Cheney's remarks:

"It's almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read behind it, it's almost as if he's wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point. I think that's dangerous politics."

This, on its face, is the most telling remark from Panetta: "gallows politics""dangerous politics"? Is this what the Director of Central Intelligence thinks Vice-president Cheney's concerns about national security are: "politics"?

More alarmingly THAT comment coming from Panetta (who is, after all, a POLITICIAN) PROVES that he is unfit to set aside HIS politics and fealty to the Democrat Party and its agenda, and to focus on concentrating his attentions on the national security of this nation.

Such remarks as were made by Panetta are equivalent to my characterizing someone's warnings to me to "Hey, don't go down into that neighborhood because the gangs are out, I know, I've dealt with them before, and you're likely to be hurt or killed," as that person's wishing I be shot; and "gallows politics!"

And my reply to his warnings would be: "Oh...duh...the only reason he's telling me that is because he wants me to get shot."

This is LUDICROUS, and by the time that magazine hits the newsstands, Panetta ought to have done us all a favor by resigning his position as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency...

...WISHING that would be in the best interest of America's national security and might contribute to there being a little less of the smell of some blood in the water.

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE COME TO UNDER THE PRESIDENCY OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
