| 2011-02-11 |
| Puppy blender, again American officials said Mr. Panetta was basing his statement not on secret intelligence but on media broadcasts, which began circulating before he sat down before the House Intelligence Committee. |

| #11 The fact that someone is basing our intel on what is the latest - not necessarily true - 'narrative' to come out of the mouths of CNN is somewhats terrifying. Terrifying indeed! From reports, Obama was also watching developments in Egypt on CNN on Air Force One on the way back from "campaigning" in Michigan. |

| #8 I think we should consider ourselves lucky that Panetta hadn't TIVO-d "Dancing With the Stars." |

| #7 Panetta's big goof here was that he offered his opinion in open testimony. (Not smart) With that said; it may be discomforting for some to accept but, historicaly in fluid situations, alot of intel is gathered from media reports. That's right folks, high level decisions may have been made as a result of Anderson Cooper's reportage. And if you find that unnerving, just think, Al-Jizz has been the big dog in Cairo since this all started. |

| #5 Bet there was a time when the US could have had fairly decent intell on what was happening, but since this Administration threw the regime under the bus, Panetta has to rely on ABC News& in WDC. Betrayal is a bitch. |
