The U.S. will not “walk away” from the challenge of Iran’s stepped-up arming of Iraqi insurgents who are targeting and killing American troops, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Monday.
“We’re very concerned about Iran and the weapons they’re providing to extremists in Iraq,” he told soldiers on his first visit to Iraq as Pentagon chief.
“We cannot sit back and simply allow this to continue to happen” he said. “This is not something we’re going to walk away from. It’s something we’re going to take on head-on.”
Yeah sure. This from the guy who was more concerned about who would play him in the movie version of the Bin Laden killing and who spilled too many details of the operation. We can feel so secure and confident with such a mature and cautious person in charge.
So how is that illegal war in Lybia going?
