If Leon P was in charge during Benghazi-night, then he had to be one of the people who told the SPECOPs forces to stand down. Would he, the seasoned politician, do that?
Good question.
IMHO, most Democrats, and their “Leftstream” Media KNOW that Republicans cannot win elections because:
* Weekly preemptive opinion poll attacks will make them afraid of their own shadows;
* Most voters hate politics, so the “Leftstream” Media gives out only low-information, anti-Republican news every day;
* “Everybody knows” that the Republicans are split so badly on foolish issues such as Obamacare that the sensible Republicans would never support a POTUS Candidate who is not in the mold of Dole, McCain or Romney.
* Republicans are nice to have around to be blamed if things go wrong, but they should never be taken seriously as potential challengers for any public service elected office.
Thus, Panetta knows that he must distance himself early from the Obama-Reid Regime, hope that the Benghazi Massacre can somehow be blamed on some Bush appointed General, and set his sights on beating the unstoppable “Chains” Biden and Mrs. Bill Clinton, “The most admired woman in America.”
Forward!
