Perspective: Why Not Just Quit?

If you want to know what is not right about our country, just look at what our past two Secretaries of Deference have not done! They simply retired, and then quietly slipped off to write books. If what they are telling us in their books is true, they should have quit and made a big splash about why they were upset!

Actually what they are they telling us is that either our President is incompetent as a leader and manager or is deliberately trying to destroy the United States. We who follow events have known for six years that he could not perform as poorly as he does without being one or the other. Just consider what his foreign policy has done to the Middle East with his so-called strategy of “leading from behind”, and then try to keep from laughing out loud .... or crying. For the moment we will deal with incompetence, because if it is the latter it is either treason of high crimes and misdemeanors, which are impeachable offences.

I read Robert Gates book and watched Panetta’s interviews with Bill O’Reilly and Charlie Rose. The demeanor of Panetta in these interviews was upsetting. He is clearly scared and fearful for our country. This was clear from his words and from his body language. If this person who has served so many presidents with distinction and honor is scared, then I am really scared!!

Let’s focus on one event that tells it all, Benghazi. The question all along is what the Secretary of Defence believed about the attack on Benghazi and what did he tell the President. Panetta told Charlie Rose that he, Panetta, knew it was an attack of terrorists that very night, and he told President Obama that was the case that very night. Charlie then asked how he felt when her heard Susan Rice say on five Sunday programs five days later on September 16, 2012 that it was a video, not terrorists. He said he was not happy!

Oh for crying out loud! NOT HAPPY!!!! HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIVID AND RESIGNED AT ONCE IN PROTEST! Folks, that is what is wrong today. If Panetta had resigned in protest to the White House’s allowing Susan Rice to report such a falsehood, he might not be so fearful. Because had he blown the whistle then before the November, 2012 election, we would probably have a president who knows how to manage and lead, namely Mitt Romney.
