It would be difficult to exaggerate the extent of the damage O is doing to himself. The CIA is well-known as a haven for Ivy League Libs. It is astonishing that he and Pelosi are picking this fight. There is NO upside and an astonishing amount of damage to be done not only to the country but to the Democratic Party.

Forget the fact that the CIA can give as good as it gets. What is Obama thinking by attacking an institution that is so reliably liberal?

Ostammer and his thugs decided long ago to go after our intel apparatus because it makes operations too damn hard for our enemies.

They set Panetta up to be their patsy.

.....and now we know why Panetta was chosen. He was quite inexperienced in the intel field and many wondered why he was chosen, if you recall. At the time, there was all this chatter about Panetta being a good guy, has gravitas, class, etc.. Now we know he was chosen for those reasons plus his lack of expertise in the area of intel so he wouldn’t see the signs or balk at the avalanche of $#!+ they were about to launch at him.

If I were Panetta I’d bail in a heartbeat on ostammer and his hood rat thugs.

Remember the visit from Bill Clinton? He gave Panetta a heads up ... on what is coming for BO and his administration...he told him to zip it for now. They’ve got the goods on BO and it’s just a matter of time...till he is exposed...

CIA has the birth registration from Mombassa. That is what is up. Hillary tried to get it when she went there but Company already had it.

CIA also has the unused footage from the fake moon landing which proves for all to see the fakery done in Burbank, CA.

I agree, his stock as a former Clintonista just went up. Wanna bet that Hil is going to be forced out soon...and that Panetta’s replacement is going to be another Stansfield Turner.

No honor among thieves in the Democrat party, but resigning would be the honorable thing for Panetta to do.

My only thought is that Zero had better hit his prayer rug hard and pray we don’t get hit during his term in office. The Republicans should make it absolutely clear that any attempt at politically motivated trials WILL result in criminal prosecution of any Obama administration flunkies guilty of subverting our national security, at the earliest possible opportunity.

Hillary is too quiet and has been plotting her revenge. I make a bet that she will force a primary against Zero in 2012

There are still a few wildcards out there and The Clintons are one of them. Their legacy, if defined today, would range from mediocre (in eyes of Dems) to criminal for many others. This will motivate them bcz even they will look in the mirror at some point and see what Obama has done to them...the ultimate insult:

They have been marginalized

Somebody should begin a process now to provide some 'MAJOR IN$ENTIVE$ ' to Hill to run 3rd party in 2012...after another meat-grinder campaign against zero in the primaries.

That's if we make it that long without something unspeakable happening...

Exactly.

The CIA is riddled with libs, and they know how to work leaks. They will work hard to retaliate for a witch hunt.

Unfortunately, I think there may be covert operatives perishing as a result of deliberate upcoming exposures.

If he’s a man of any decency at all he should resign.
