Leon Panetta: “The most important thing in these crises is to present the truth to the American people.”

I recommend he take Reagan's position, which is trust, but verify.

I don't like the idea that former soldiers who served well, uh, at least during the time they spent in the military, uh, that somehow there was something that happened that then turned them into terrorists.

And that is the danger here: that rather than bringing peace, it's going to bring more war.

Well, I think you saw a tragic and historic moment take place in the Oval Office, in which 80 years of United States foreign policy has largely been turned on its head.
