The assumption being, even a republican would say such a thing in the first place. Which would mean that its a common perspective across the political spectrum. In which case I don’t seen the need for any media to make a big deal out of what might actually be a common public opinion.
Well, this is the new world order, in which you insult your friends and make nice to your enemies. Panetta is just showing how “worldly” he is by making China and India equivalent. Isn’t that the United Nations way?
Yes there is. At most 15% of the population (am including members of the Revolutionary Guard in that too). One can never realistically expect 100% of any population to be against any regime.
There is also the regular/traditional Iranian military, who were disarmed by the mullahs' regime & remain to be - they are completely against the regime.
Why not help Iranian dissidents, various ethnic grps, and the regular Iranian military to bring down the regime? Carter admin w/ the help of Europeans gov'ts did that with the Shah. So, the US & EU are very capable planning for & executing a similar strategy again. Why don't they want to? That's the question.
Let’s see...what could he do to be more useful. I know! He could get himself a little radio and a shiny, brightly colored shirt made of synthetic fiber. Then he could put the radio on the sidewalk in front of a candy store and start doing the chicken. Maybe he’ll get the attention of a passing girl—maybe even un Americana ricco.
The ‘leaders’ know that anal exams await down the road.
The one over helping the Shah back into power over Mossedeq
is still going on, kind of.
They don’t want to get it wrong when they don’t know who
is keeping score. So they wait and see. But the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq is supposed to have pointed out the majority of the
secret sites and is helpful in other ways, I’m sure.
LOL

2012 can’t come soon enough.
Panneta was thinking out loud for Obama on this one.

Leon Panetta makes gaffe = dog bites man
Leon Panetta makes sense = man bites dog
That’s right, Panetta knows that India is a threat to AMERIKA (his country), India is not a threat and as a matter of fact it is a friend (one of our few allies) to my America (The United States of America)!
Some important facts to remember about India:
>> It is the largest democracy in the world by population of over Billion people.
>> Never had a military coup since gaining freedom in 1947.
>> India has never invaded any foreign country to conquer and control and occupy, basically exactly same as US.
>> India on the other hand was invaded by a variety of entities. Alexander the Great and other Greeks arrived in India. The ancient Persian Empire expanded its boundaries up to India. There were other Greeks who arrived in India and established kingdoms in India. Others to arrive in ancient India were Scythians, Kushans and Huns. These invaders also established some kingdoms in India. At a much later period there were Muslim invaders - Turks, Arabs, Afghans and others. And of course the Europeans - Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, French and English.
