Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich on Friday called on Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to resign, rebuking him for telling a congressional panel that the U.S. would “seek international permission” before intervening in the ongoing bloodshed in Syria.

“I have been told that the secretary of defense has suggested that international agreements override the Congress,” Gingrich told supporters in Gulfport, Mississippi. “If he believes that, he should resign tonight.”

Responding to a statement that the U.S. was placing military resolutions of the United Nations, NATO and the Arab League ahead of those made by Congress, Panetta told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday: "You know, our goal would be to seek international permission.

The Obama Administration is, without doubt, the most criminal administration in u.S. history.

Panetta knows better. He should resign.

It would be interesting to hear the other candidates babble on about this.

The most criminal, corrupt government in our history. RICO should apply.

But expecting them to resign or recuse themselves, is never going to happen.

Growing weary of the US always running to the UN. Remember the UN corruption during the war in Iraq? it is amazing Kofi Anon is not in prison.

Would love to see Panetta go and take Obommie the Marxist Commie with him

If you look at the history of Panetta you will see he embraces commies.There have been articles about his associations.
Our whole govt, save a few people, is full of commies..
These FEMA camps, which I am sure they will say is simply to house people left homeless from natural disasters, is going to be re education camps for people who will refuse to kiss the a$4 er ring of HRH and HRH the 0bamas..
God help this nation...dark days are ahead...
We have family members who lost everything moved to a foreign country to start over..they have escaped this...but what makes me see red is they voted for this horror! Even named their peacock Barack because the sound they make sounds they make sound like they are saying this puke’s name.

The Kenyan pretender is a traitØr, as are his minions and handlers.

This nation used to have a provision for treason.

Oh c’mon, Newt.. Panetta’s just conveying 0bama’s obedience to the United Nations and ‘Agenda 21’. Rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline is in lock-step with ‘Agenda 21’ as well.

The Obama mafia is subservient to the UN. The One World Government HQ. Obama seeks “permission” for a group that collective hates America and Israel. On May 14, 1948, the UN approved the formation of the Nation of Israel. The USA, President Truman against the advice of nearly all his advisers and Congress, recognized Israel. DO YOU THINK that the stinking UN would approve the formation of the Nation of Israel today??? I don’t think so. Not a chance. The only reason it happened back then was the Holocaust of WWII and the murder of 6 million Jews. No Obama takes his orders from Soros and the other leaders of the Bilderberg Group mafia. The One World Order. It is here. It is now. It rules now. It runs the banks. It runs most EU governments. It runs the fed reserve banks. Get used to it folks. It is here and there is nothing we can do about it. Only Jesus Christ will “fix” this world. Only He has the power to do it. We humans are simply out numbered.

Why I want the guy. Work for him as and when I can.

Instant surgical strikes, no messing around with policy positions and focus groups.

Newt's right - if Panetta believes that, he needs to resign.

Is Panetta not giving aid and comfort to our enemies?

I’d like to see impeachment proceedings started Monday. Let the Dems in the Senate run for re-election on that . . .
