Leon Panetta Pick Signals Obama Will Relent on War on Terror to ‘Civil Rights’ Concerns of Al-Qaeda
Republican Liberty Caucus ^ | 1/6/2009 | Historicus and Publicola

Posted on 01/06/2009 8:23:30 AM PST by obamaisandrogynous

The pick of Leon Panetta as the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency signals just one thing — Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., the president-elect, is ready to capitulate to terrorists. For weeks, there have been rumors in the military and intelligence world that Obama was having difficulty finding a new CIA director because no one who was qualified wanted to work with Eric Holder, Obama’s choice for Attorney General. Holder famously defended the “wall of separation” between the CIA and the FBI during the Clinton administration, which prevented the agencies from sharing intelligence on terrorists, for fear of harming their civil rights.

Clearly, Panetta, now in his sunset years, at age 70, just two years younger than John McCain, the man Team Obama mocked as “too old” to be president, will be a passive participant here, as he has no intelligence agency experience, and will do whatever the ACLU types inhabiting the forthcoming administration want to protect the dear little terrorists, perhaps even ensuring that they are Mirandized, on the battlefield. But, when the dirty nukes start going off in mid-town Manhattan, we know whom the media will blame — George W. Bush. Everything is his fault, anyway, don’t you know? Holder at Justice, Panetta at CIA, Janet Napolitano at Homeland Security. Boy, we sure feel safe.

Obama is taking George Orwell’s statement about having “rough men” who do brutal things in the night to protect the nation and turning it on its head. He wants sensitive types who won’t hurt the darling terrorists’ feelings.

This administration is going to be worse than the last 2 years of Jimmy Carter's horrid tenancy of the White House.

“Holder at Justice, Panetta at CIA, Janet Napolitano at Homeland Security.”

That is an incredibly frightening lineup! Batten down the hatches this is going to be a really bumpy ride!

Is The Zero capitulating to terrorists or to Clintons here? It’s hard to tell.

After our rookie President has put an intelligence rookie in CIA, and closed down Guantanamo, if - Heaven help us - we have a second 9-11, will it be Bush’s fault?

Of course it will, dear. That’s the ‘zombie mantra’. I guess they find it ‘calming’. Hehe.

Panetta? I’d rather see Jihad Johnny get paroled and be the CIA director. He’s got more experience than ol’ Leon.

Every horrible thing that happens around the world until the end of time will be Bush’s fault. The Bush haters of the world will continue to repeat the lie until it becomes truth set in stone.

It was a shocker that so-called Americans elected the communist Chicago thug in the first place. I blame the "educational system" and the guilt-ridden, bleeding heart liberal bastards of the MSM.

God help the United States of America.

What’s the over/under on the number of US civilians that will die due to leftist terrorist coddling policy?

I’m picking 15,000.
