    It‘s a shame Panettes actions aren’t backing up his words….Why is he not doing anything about the freak of president in White House or the unions sobataging the economy…..why has Panette put us in harms way by looking the other way!

    I am shockd to see Petraeus staying in this ridiculous administration. I have had hugh respect for him since he became a known person. I thought he would leave under Obama but I’m kind of in shock he is taking another role! Do I trust Pinetta in his role as Defense Secretary, no as he is just another pathetic progressive and! I fear for our military with him in this role as he is puppet of Obama’s!

      Served in the Army from 1964 to 1966. Afterward, worked as a Republican legislative aide in the Senate and eventually became head of the U.S. Office for Civil Rights, where he was in charge of enforcing equal education laws under President Richard Nixon.

    you could tell Gates was toast when they asked him if Libya was of great importance to the U.S. and he said no.Clinton gave him the evil eye then.

      The first thing I thought was, this change is because more CIA “boots” will be on the ground in Libya. We need to get the heck outta Libya. Let the other coalilations handle it for a change. We’ve had enough troops slaughtered by people that hate us except when they need military, or humanitarian assistance.

      He’s gotta put somebody in the Pentagon that can get away with espionage. He knows the military is a wild card in his Constitutional burning plans. As Sun-Tzu said, “keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer.”
