Former CIA director on SEAL book: "We're not going to accept this kind of behavior"
CBS ^ | September 11, 2012

Posted on 09/11/2012 8:30:01 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is speaking out for the first time about the Navy SEAL who continues to make headlines with his revealing book about the night Osama bin Laden was killed.

Panetta spoke with "CBS This Morning" co-host, Norah O'Donnell, and while he maintained that Americans have a right to know details about the raid, he came out against the SEAL -- who goes by the pseudonym Mark Owen -- and his book. "There's no question that the American people have a right to know about this operation," Panetta said. "But people who are a part of....

Obamugabe is upset because HIS LIES about the bin Laden raid, that he "declassified" to Hollywood director Kathyrn Bigelow, are now exposed by the patriot who wrote this book.

Now, hopefully, fewer people will go to the forthcoming Hollywood "Praise Obama" flick, knowing his version of the event was a lie.

I doubt that anything will happen to Mr. Owen given that the defense will surely subpoena White House staff to explain how they’d already leaked all of the supposed secrets into the public domain.

So Panetta has a problem with a former Navy SEAL speaking out against the lies of B. Hussein?

Blow it out your poop chute, Leon. Its about time the truth became known.

Did Leon Panetta explain that he is a Communist, which is why Obama appointed him to head the CIA and the military? Because Panetta can be trusted to work for the enemy?

But Panetta didn’t care about the Messiah spilling the details to the Discovery Channel two weeks after Bin Laden was “killed.”

I don’t think Panetta ever criticized Biden publically for telling the world Seal Team 6 did the job.

Leon Panetta - “We’re not going to accept this kind of behavior”

From the man who was a loyal Bill Clinton supporter and defended Clinton’s raping and lying.

Panetta has ZERO credibility as an honest, unbiased professional.

It's not illegal, we just don't like the way you pick your nose;


"I think we have to make clear to him and to the American people that we're not going to accept this kind of behavior."

Leon is the clean up boy. He cleaned up for Clinton and now he has to clean up for Barry.

Remember back, when Leon and George Mitchell sandbagged the first Bush and had Bush raise taxes against his 'no new tax' pledge.

I have no respect for Panetta, at all.

Plus wasn’t it intellectual giant Joe Biden who opened his mouth about it being ST6 who offed OBL which shortly thereafter resulted in their deaths when their chopper was hit? That sounds like treason of the worst kind to me.

Pannetta is also a tinfoil-hat saucer-chaser who said in an interview on SyFy that the US Goverment needs to “stop lying about Roswell and Kecksburg.”

It’s a wonderful thing when 0dumbo can lie about classified material operations without fear of being exposed until decades later.

Something will happen to him. You’re assuming the obama and his minions will abide by the law, something that they have utter contempt for, as proven by past actions.

Problem with that is that, under National Security law, the material still remains classified even though everybody now knows about it, and it will remain classified until it is formally stamped "declassified" by some reviewing authority.

So legally, it's not in the public domain (even though it is, on a de facto basis).

This SEAL is in serious trouble if DoD decides to risk the PR backlash and prosecute him.

May, 2011. Obama shoots off mouth, tempted to award self Medal of Honor:

August, 2011. SEAL helicopter targeted and shot down:

http://abcnews.go.com/International/helicopter-shot-25-navy-seals-dead-crash-afghanistan/story?id=14245387#.UE9ac7KPUXs

If the guys who fought and died can’t talk about it, and then paid for it with their lives later because the CinCh who would have us believe that he practically led the mission—when in fact he had to be browbeaten to authorize it—did talk about it, then it’s time to replace the CinCh.

If we don’t replace Obama then sometime in the near future, along with the SEAL we’re punished for expressing our opinions here and FR is shut down as “subversive” or a “threat to national security” or whatever euphemism Panetta & Co. believe they can make stick. And you can take that to the bank.

Panetta (another one of Bubba’s boys) is upset because his master, Hussein 0bama, can’t spin the raid his way if the real facts are out there.
