PANETTA: 'INTERNATIONAL PERMISSION’ TRUMPS CONGRESSIONAL PERMISSION FOR MILITARY ACTIONS

Oh crap. I bet this will have something to do with KONY 2012 garbage, "Popular opinion says we should bomb africa for ten years to get one guy, so let's do it!".
 
I can't even believe that the Panetta didn't even try to word things more carefully. He made it sound like he was taking specific direction from other foreign agencies. He could have focused on the president exercising his ability to protect the nation without a formal declation from Congress, as has been established by the War Powers Act and historical precedence. Instead, he made it sound like he, Leon Panetta was going to take direction from foreign powers, whether or not Congress did anything about it. No wonder the Senator was shocked at what he was hearing.

Confirming Leon Panetta for Secretary of Defense may harm U.S. defense considering his Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) ties and his record of siding with communist subversion.​

Asking the fox to watch the hen-house.

The general sitting behind Panetta is part and party to this behavior.

The questioning is great, but if they don't somehow prosecute the SOBs for treason, nothing is going to change.

Wow, he's such a liar, trying to dodge the question. He basically said we only need congressional approval if the international community isn't involved.
