Maybe the Agency will get more agents into the field again.

That is not what I said, but don’t be naive to think that just because some graduates from th Naval Academy or AF Academy or West Point that they are all gung-ho patriotic conservatives....it is not the case, they go for the education.

Allen West is NOT a West Point Graduate and I would get on my knees and Praise the Lord if he were Sec. of Def. or CIA or the head of Cent. Com. or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

I sure would like to know what Panetta did in the US Army for 2 years (1964-66)! That’s the extent of his military experience.

Was he a judge advocate? If he was, then he should be barred from confirmation! As Def Sec, Panetta will focus on diversity, gay rights, the environment, women’s issues and everything under the sun except DEFENDING THE USA.

Watch as Sen. Linda Graham votes to confirm his nomination! Not a word of critcism or any relevant questions will be uttered during the rubber stamp confirmation process in the US Senate.

Panetta as Sec. Def? That sucks!

Back in the late 80s as a radio news director I often interviewed Leon as he was the congressional rep for the Monterey Bay Area. He was originally registered as a Republican but changed party affiliation around 1976 and was voted into office then as a democrat. If one remembers the political climate back then--it was after Watergate and the Republican brand was deeply tarnished.

Personally, I like Leon. Back then he was adamant about the deficit and the budget and the need to reduce both. His pleas fell on deaf ears. I was there when he held a meeting between Mexican groups and the INS and the INS protocols for nabbing a suspected illegal. Twas interesting indeed.

And yes, at least Leon is an American.
