If this is true, Panetta should resign

Does anyone read anything? From KG's link:



They had disarmed the afghans who were in the room and wanted everyone treated the same so as not to inflame an already inflammatory situation. It wasn't Panetta who requested this, it ws the General.

Sure, it was. Sure it was.

And if the General told you wolverines made great house pets you'd believe him too, right?

Tell the MAJOR GENERAL.

He just woke up that morning and made the call.

No other SecDef ever visited Afghanistan before Panetta, right?
 
I'd like to say I'm shocked but nothing surprises me about the Obama's Administrations outright contempt and hatred for our culture and institutions
Obaaaaaaaaama!!!!!!!!!

Is he not responsible for the actions of who he appoints?
 
Besides, just because the general gave the order doesn't mean it didn't come from somewhere else.

Not that it matters, it's idiotic.
 
I'm sure it never happened until Obama came into office.

You truly are a stupid fuck.

I'll wait for you to post other examples of Marines disarming themselves -- short of being dead.

You are a perfect tool

who gives a shit? This didnt come from Obama and you can't prove that it did.
You just want to continue your Obama hate and will use anything in order to do so.

Why don't you go jerk off to some santorum porn.

Brilliant rejoinder!

If it's true that Leon Panetta had Marines disarm before being in a room with him, he should resign.

You don't put your desire for personal safety above the honor of the United States Marine Corp.


Story to come, I'm sure.

:clap2:

Your first nonpartisan thread or post for that matter, congrats.

Oh boy; what if one of the Marines had the gun yanked from them BY an Afghani? NOTE, no Afghanis had weapons either.

Show me how many times Bush Administration ordered Marines to disarm when SecDef visited
 
I understand that it was a gesture by the commander, to make all the troops in the place in which Panetta was to appear, be equally unarmed. They couldn't trust the Afghanistanis; so the same condition had to be applied to the Marines.

I suppose it was worth it, because it enabled our Sec. Def. to appear before the Afghan troops. And without the Marines being there he couldn't appear and speak to the Afghans because they couldn't be trusted to not assassinate him IF armed, and if unarmed they would've been offended. Heck, they might've even been shamed, which is the standard for offense there.

The Marines in some perverse fashion were the token canaries in the mine. They could not have felt very comfortable in that situation. While in quarters they were completely dependent on the security provided by whatever armed men were outside.

Thus, a smart move. And, it is likely some Marines or others in the area had weapons. We are trying to TURN the mess over to Afghanis, and they cannot yet be trusted NOT to kill US troops or officials.

Yes, he should. But do you think that's gonna happen? Hell no. and it that doesn't happen do you think obama has the balls to fire him? We'll see. I'm betting not.
Even if Panetta had given this order, he shouldn't be fired. He hasn't done anything to be fired over. but he should resign.

We will find out who actually gave the order.

boy it didn't take you long to bail from your original statement did it? :lol:
 
It was a US General that so requested after a vehicle caused a security scare.[...]
That vehicle incident notwithstanding, do you think it is necessary and appropriate to impose gun control on U.S. Marines in a combat zone? Because no matter how the pie is sliced, that is what it is!

If we can't trust our own Marines I'd say there is a big problem with government policy and it's time to take a really close look at what's going on over there.

seriously, I thought the point of the op was to say his actions are not worthy of his position. Fired or quit is just semantics.:lol:

Is he not responsible for the actions of who he appoints?
I don't remember Bush stepping up to take the blame for Abu Ghraib, or Valerie Plame, or the Katrina disaster, or . . .

Oh, fuck - there are just too many to list!
