#1 It was a secret that we wanted to kill Al Qaeda operatives and now, thanks to Panetta we don't want to kill them? I don't understand. Sounds like the guy is defining himself out of a job.

#4 What a complete wuss.

My word, the Russkies and the Stasi were running about zapping defectors and getting the Pope shot and we are afraid to hunt these unterminsche down like the animals they are?

Crazy, completely crazy.

I wonder what kind of odds a London bookie will give me on which city and when AQ vaporizes another 3 or 5 thousand of us.

Panetta neither has the guts or emotional armor for this job. Almost makes me long for the days of George Tenent and Richard Clarke.

#5 I am starting to believe the Obama administration and his leftist minions have spent more energy on Bush and Company than Al Qaeda. Tends to lead credence to who they think the real threat is.

#6 But but but ... if we kill them we can't hold hands and sing Kumbaya with them!
