Obama is naming Leon Panetta to head the CIA? Really?

“Mr. Panetta has a reputation in Washington as a competent manager with strong background in budget issues, but has little hands-on intelligence experience.”

Oh, he has a strong background on budget issues?

Great! I feel so much better!

Shhh!!! Don’t tell the Hope & Change crowd about this!

“Panetta did not advocate a precipitous U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. Instead, he said that 75,000 to 80,000 American troops should remain in Iraq for a long period of time.”

A long period of time? Who does he think he is, John McCain?
