OK, whatever, I guess a competent manager should put the fear of Allah into al-Qaeda.

About Panetta’s Clintobamism, by the way, he seemed to be all over the place. Gave heavily to Hill, was mildly but publicly critical of her campaign, advised Obama and was tasked with bringing the disaffected Clintonistas on board.

“Keep your friends close.” I don’t even know why I put that on this post [...] It’s one of those things you need to do the math on very carefully. Sort of like that “enemy of my enemy” calculus. Raise your hand if you think Obama has figured out who his friends and who his enemies are.

President-elect Obama has made his first completely incomprehensible appointment: Leon Panetta for CIA Director. No, I’m serious. Clinton OMB Director and Chief of Staff to head a key intelligence agency. One can refer to him as an “experienced bureaucrat” (to be kind) or a “Clinton crony” (to be blunt).

why put the Clintons in charge of all the secrets? Because they don't want some stuff to come out? But then what hold do they have on The Messiah to make him put everything under Clinton lock and key?

I wonder how his policy on Gitmo, Israel and Pakistan will be shaped by the changing global economy and the
Israel and Hamas situation.
