Leon Panetta: “the United States is within reach of strategically defeating al Qaeda”

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.

Something, somebody, somewhere failed to do the proper planning for what had to take place in order to properly support our men and women in uniform.

Somebody needs to get fired.
