Truthfully, it has been pretty much of a gagger to try to post the last couple of days. But finally I found a real hoot. Now that Panetta is walking out the door, after we left Americans to die in Benghazi, and have done nothing to go after those who did it, after we turned the Middle East into a tinder box, this savant has his last remarks recorded and that should go down in History as demonstrating one of the most insightful foreign polices in our Nation’s History. He claims we helped out big time in Algeria after everyone knows Algeria told us to go to hell as well as the rest of the Europeans. Add our savant Clinton who just issued this warning that perhaps Americans may want to take off Algeria as their destination vacation port. Wow, four more years that should get even better with our new Secretary of State and Defense. At least the word “Terrorist” was used. We indeed have come a long way. So this is my inaugural post. God help us.
The State Department issued a travel warning Saturday night for Americans in or traveling to Algeria, citing credible threats of the kidnapping of Western nationals. The department also authorized the departure from Algeria of staff members’ families if they choose to leave.
“Terrorists should be on notice that they will find no sanctuary, no refuge. Not in Algeria, not in North Africa, not anywhere,” Panetta told an audience in London.
Panetta says US officials are “working around the clock” to secure the safe release of aof US citizens who have been taken hostage by militants at a gas plant near the Algerian town of In Amenas.

He reminds me of an arsonist who starts the fire, then watches the Firefighters put out the blaze. I wonder if anyone believed what he said considering Obama and his minion’s history of toothless foreign policy.

Great analogy. Now he leaves the post to what position elsewhere. No doubt to lobby.

….and probably to lobby for a defense contractor

I would laugh at this if it wasn’t so sad. The only person the Obama regime held accountable was the American film-maker and they have no intention of holding anyone else accountable, they got their man.

It really is a hoot isn’t it, if not so sad. Worse, does he really believe what he said?

Does anyone believe that US foreign policy over the last decades has in anyway made the world a sfer place? It seems to me that all they have done is to make a bad situation worse.
BTE, Nunker, if I am ever kidknapped, DO NOT…I repeat…, DO NOT send the Algerians to my aid! Please!

Unfortunately, as in all of nature, it is survival of the fittest for most. We as Americans had a unique evolution as a society, but as all must and do, the societies collapse and the cycle repeats itself.
