CIA Chief Says Cheney Almost 'Wishing' U.S. Be Attacked Again

CIA Director Leon Panetta says former Vice President Dick Cheney's criticism of the Obama administration's approach to terrorism almost suggests "he's wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point."

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.

May just smell of fearfulness and doubt about their decisions. Liberals project and telegraph their inadequacies by attacking their opponents. Makes me nervous.

Leon, if there's no "blood in the water," what smells? He knows.

~~PING!

[Graybeard58]

Panetta is an utter moron.

[ClearCase_guy]

Panetta is almost "wishing" that he were at Yankee Stadium when Sarah Palin's daughter was "giving it away".

There seem to be no limits now.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Panetta is a leftwing kook. He looks like he escaped from the cast of Dr. Strangelove. He talks and acts like it too.

[tet68]

The same people who hoped and prayed we’d be attacked during
the eight years of the Bush Administration so they could attack him as a failure?

[Cicero]

What are Leon Panetta’s qualifications to be head of the CIA? Less than zero.

[The Pack Knight]

Or maybe he's criticizing the Obama administration because, oh, I don't know, he actually doesn't want the US attacked again thinks Obama's doing it all wrong. I guess Occam's Razor is no match for Panetta's Mind-Reader.

[JimRed]

Wishes or no, it WILL happen. It is just a matter of when and how badly it will turn out, and how they will try to blame Bush for it.

I know this is BS - Cheny is an honorable man, aand this is from a man who’s honor is questionable.

[God luvs America]

bingo...never mind rooting against America on every level...it's getting hysterical to see how pathetic zero and his utterly juvenile staff are at slinging insults...they are setting the standard...

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

ooops -
Cheny = Cheney

[Uncle Hal]

The stupidity of the liberals has no end. Each passing day there is evidence of how nutty and deranged they are.

[Bender2]

This is what you get... when you put a political hack in as CIA Director.

[Liberty Valance]

Dear Mr. Panetta,

Please provide a link to when and where Cheney ever said such a thing.

Sincerely,

Liberty

[gridlock]

Prove it or apologize, Mr. Panetta.

It strikes me only somebody who wishes the country ill would be inclined to see the same desire in others.

[STARWISE]

I know ... God help us, save us.

Leon Panetta holds a Grand Master card in the Projectionist's Union.

Now he's added to his skills by becoming a mind reader as well.

Truly amazing for a guy that can't find his ass with both hands and a flashlight.

[shalom aleichem]

Yes, and Cheney being a former Defense Secretary.

Ordinarily a president would call on his CIA director to apologize for such a stupid, outrageous statement, but Panetta and Ozero are on the same page. Both lack class. CIA is now a political attack dog for the WH.
