Ten Questions for Leon Panetta

Heritage  "Panetta, who is currently director of the Central Intelligence Agency, has already responded to a 79-page set of answers to questions from the Senate Armed Services Committee, but his responses largely lacked specifics. He says he expects that “difficult choices will have to be made” on defense spending. “If confirmed, I will work to make disciplined decisions in ways that minimize impacts on our national security.” Given what’s at stake—U.S. national security—more substantive responses are sorely needed."
....
"Given the President’s call for significant cuts to an already under-funded military, it is vitally important for the American people to know where Panetta stands on defense spending before he is confirmed. And it is up to the Senate to make sure those questions are asked."

This has been going around: Rumor: Panetta ordered OBL raid; Reluctant as I am to consider that Obama may have the courage to order an operation such as this (and still suspect he had to have his arm twisted) the source for this report is highly suspect and often proven a liar. True, Obama is known as the "voting present" legislator and his self-absorbed utterances indicate no sign of personal growth. But the report is from someone posting as Ulsterman, whose veracity has been substantially refuted. 
We have a real and serious danger to America in Mr. Obama and the Democrat Party; we must be taken seriously and not let our warnings be dismissed as right-wing kookery.    The Tunnel Dweller.
