I wonder if Secretary Panetta sought UN permission to travel to Afghanistan...

Prediction....Since Panetta didn't switch planes from a highly visible 747 to a C-17 in Europe before he traveled in country the terrorist will know when to strike the next time because the majority of the troops on the base will be unarmed.

No guns allowed around the weasels who run this evil socialist regime....someone might get hurt.

It’s best that members of the current cabal that busily works towards the destruction of America stays completely away from the troops.

I wouldn’t go to see him then. THE FIRST RULE OF FIGHTING - NEVER LET DOWN YOUR GUARD.

Panetta was really afraid of the Afghan soldiers who were also attending. The Afghan soldiers were ordered to leave their weapons outside of the room, and so that they wouldn't have their itty bitty fweelings hurt, a certain Marine Corps General ordered the Leathernecks to do the same.

You can tell when a war is winding down when the PC factor starts creeping up...

And people here criticize me when I suggest America may need their own Pinochet.

Let the Messiah be re elected. We won't have a country anymore. Maybe We'll resemble Zimbabwe, except we'll "print" money via computer; i.e., qualitative easing, instead of the fed running the printing presses.

Actually there is precedent for this. Bill Clinton was so incredibly unpopular in the military that he was advised of many military bases and ships where he could not go, “as his security could not be guaranteed.”

Unlike Jimmy Carter, who frightened sailors who believed him to be a “Jonah”, extremely bad luck, when Clinton visited the Enterprise, sailors were first assembled, then asked to put up their hands if they had “any problem with Clinton or his policies.”

Those who put their hands up were ordered below decks to a secure area where they were placed under watch by armed warrant officers until Clinton had left.

For some reason, Republican presidents don’t seem to have these problems. If anything, their minders have to remind them that they have a schedule, so can’t hang out with the soldiers and sailors as long as they like.

Those troops murdered at Ft. Hood by the terrorist Maj. Hussan were also unarmed and had to depend on armed civilian security forces to end the shooting. Of course the terrorist had no problem getting a weapon or bringing it on base.

The bright point is that the Administration knows it cannot count on the military to protect it from We the People - that’s probably why Obama has said from the beginning he needs a public “army” as well funded/equiped as the real Army.
