Obama Pick's Leon Panetta As CIA Director In The Middle Of A War????
Senate Grumbles About Panetta Pick
President-elect Barack Obama is naming Leon Panetta, a former congressman from California and chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, to be CIA director. Obama also has picked retired Navy Admiral Dennis Blair to be director of national intelligence, overseeing all the nation's spy agencies, a Democratic official said.
The selection pairs a top military man with a quintessential Washington insider - but that combination appeared to irk some key Senate Democrats, who expressed concern that Panetta does not have an intelligence background. “My position has consistently been that I believe the agency is best-served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time,” said California Sen. Diane Feinstein, who will oversee Panetta's confirmation as chair of the Select Committee on Intelligence.
Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.), the vice chairman of the committee, also questioned the choice of Panetta. “Job number one at the CIA is to track down and stop terrorists. In a post-9-11 world, intelligence experience would seem to be a prerequisite for the job of CIA Director. While I will reserve final judgment on President-elect Obama’s nomination for the leader of our terror-fighting agency, I will be looking hard at Panetta’s intelligence expertise and qualifications."

Uh..................Yeah!!! We will all be looking at Leon Panetta as CIA Director because he is NOT the most competant person on the block as far as National/Central Intelligence goes! Maybe Secretary of Commerce now that Bill Richardson is gone because of another Democrat Scandal, but the head of the CIA? C'mon Obama you had a winning team going there and now you are just screwing up and making promises to those that put you in office without thinking what is in the best interest of the Country! Dont be a nitwit now! I mean this is only the Clinton Cabinet playing musical chairs under your command! What's next? Sandy Burglar in Charge Of The FBI?
If we are attacked again, Barack Hussein Obama will be personally responsible with this nitwit pick!

Marie, this just adds to the ridiculous Clinton cronyism that is taking place with Obama appointees.
Panetta has no business at CIA. This was payola for working on Obama's campaign and CIA was all tha he had left to appoint so he gave it to Panetta.
I wonder also how much of this Clinton appiontee business has to do with agreements that were made with Hillary and her appointment to State and/or her agreement to endorse Obama at the Convention.
Ken,
Yeah, something stink's about this appointment!
You Know is it to much to ask that SOMEONE in this upcoming Administration have some form of experience at ANYTHING??
Bush kept Tenet in 2001...was Bush responsible for 9/11?
Oh, that was the president before him, Clinton...
LOL...you NeoConned are not responsible for anything, are you?
Economy, unemployment, Wall Street, haven't caught Bin Laden...? None of these are your responsibilities...must be nice.
As usual, we'll clean up after your mess.
Fed,
It wouldnt have mattered if Bush kept Tennet on 9-11 would have happened anyway because nobody knew where or when we were going to be attacked and all the dot's were not connected.
Today is a different story!
All the lessons learned after 9-11 and Obama pick's this guy who has no intel experience at all in the middle of a war?
Obama is going to have to get used to the "Lessoned Learned Thing"!
Pretty Damn Fast too!
