Panetta unloads on White House for pulling US forces out of Iraq

Link? I am off topic because you continue to pursue it. Since you feel that I am off topic, cannot refute what has been posted, I have no intention of responding further.
You needed a link to show that Chile had the strongest economy in Latin America or the Ayatollah Khomeini was bad for Iran? I assumed that was basic knowledge.
 
All of a sudden Panetta has credibility? Hilarious. An Obama hit piece from Fake News? What's next? The sun setting in the west?


No its a excerpt from his book.

And why wouldn't Panetta have credibility ?

Its not like he was the one who promised everyone in America that if you like your Dr you can keep your Dr.

No, I think Americans are pretty sure who has the credibility problem and its not Panetta.
 
I'm not as desperate to make the comparison as you are to deny it.

Gowins law is pretty much the epitome of "desperate to compare" something.
 
Oh, well there was that 7 minute tape of a senior state department official talking about further aid to the rebels, and there have been documented press reports identifying individuals.

Without that, based simply on the history of the US, the bald faced incompetence of Barrack Obama, it is almost a given. Based these facts, the record of accuracy, I believe them, not someone who has a record of posting blatant bull****. I notice you did not address the main issue, that the US has never been successful at regime change; it's record is steeped in blood from Pinochet, various puppets in Vietnam, the Shah of Iran and on and on.

The State Dept. officers were discussing humanitarian aid to victims of violence. There was no US hand promoting regime change in Ukraine. I have no idea what you mean by "documented press reports identifying individuals."

As for the "main issue" I'm certain US actions over the years have caused casualties. Nonetheless, the coup in Chile was not "US backed" and Vietnam was a war. Recent research has shown that the Shah would have come to power with or without any US assistance.
