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.
I can't believe you people hate Obama so much you would attack the Sec Defense who is considered a great American by most rational and sane people. Difficult to find a Republican that knows him who has anything negative to say about Panetta's honor, duty, service, or patriotism.
You people would destroy American in order to win a silly ideological dispute with the elected President
btw: American officials said that the top commander in Helmand, Maj. Gen. Mark Gurganus, had decided on Tuesday that no one would be armed while Mr. Panetta spoke to them, but the word did not reach those in charge in the tent until shortly before Mr. Panetta was due to arrive.
General Gurganus told reporters later that he wanted a consistent policy for everyone in the tent. Youve got one of the most important people in the world in the room, he said. He insisted that his decision had nothing to do with the shooting on Sunday. This is not a big deal, he said.
