Leon Panetta a Liar?

Some of the questions Kelly asks here aren't appropriate for a State Department spokeswoman, and should really be posed to the White House Press Secretary or someone who actually represents the president, not just his administration.

 

That said, there are also some points Kelly put nicely where I wouldn't have been so nice. Psaki kept saying that Panetta's account of the circumstances surrounding our removal of forces from Iraq wasn't "consistent with the facts." The direct follow-up question that should have been asked was whether Psaki was calling Panetta, as well as Robert Gates, a liar. Essentially, she was, and Kelly tries to call her on that very tactfully, but this is a necessary line of questioning where tact isn't as important as getting to the heart of the issue.

 

In any case, this interview only underscores a larger point, which is that the president is more concerned with politics than he is doing what's best for the nation's security and the stability of the Middle East. The position Iraq is in today is a direct result of that misguided order of priorities.

In the last couple of months I have seen Leon Panetta (Secretary of Defense, Director of CIA), Robert Gates (Secretary of Defense) and General Martin Dempsey (current Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff-basically the highest ranking member of our entire military) have all come out and said that Obama was told not to withdraw all the troops. General Dempsey said in a recent public congressional hearing that "every" member of the military leadership said that it was a mistake to completely withdraw from Iraq.

 

I saw today that Obama said something like, "This was not my decision". 

 

So this guy who is the commander in chief of all our armed forces, who says where our people are deployed, who solely chooses when we leave a theater..........  now says that it was not his decision.

 

Everyone else is lying but him. Hmmmm.... must be a conspiracy. With all the calls from the left that every accusation against Obama is nothing but a conspiracy by the right wing, what happens now when his own inner circle/staff has come out against him? Will they all of a sudden claim a conspiracy theory? Nahhh... that would put them in the tin foil hat brigade of the far right.  Will they instead accept that when most of the inner circle picked by the president himself turns on him, there is something to it?

It's a three ring circus!! Obama does not want to deal with foreign policy and it is a distraction and a political football for him. He wanted be President soley for the ability to dramatically affect domestic policy!! That is what he is passionate about. Fundamentally changing the fabric of our nation, culture and society!!!
