Leon Panetta Calls the Hezbollah 'Pager'
Attack 'Terrorism' - My Advice to Panetta:

"Zero Dark Thirty" was a pretty solid movie. I liked it because the producers and director didn’t sugarcoat the way that CIA operatives treated terrorists. Terrorists deserved their fate. The composite protagonist “Maya” was a CIA analyst who worked tirelessly to bring justice down on Osama Bin Laden — AKA a bullet to the brain. After Maya had fingered where Bin Laden was, she met with Leon Panetta, the then-head of the CIA. Panetta was portrayed by James Gandolfini. I don’t object to artistic license when actors portray real people, but Gandolfini was a big man: 6’1” and intimidating. He looked intimidating just standing still. Panetta,

Panetta is Hezbollah. Israel has no choice but to eliminate Hezbollah just like they did Hamas. Iran will be next.

The CIA has a history of classic failures beginning with the fiasco in Vietnam that got thousands of Americans killed. Panetta and others like him are responsible for those deaths. It is now out of control just like most government agencies and Congress doesn't know about much of what they do even though they claim to have oversight. The shame of Clinton's Benghazi was a failed arms deal and the suicide bomb in Afghanistan that killed many Americans long before Biden's disastrous pullout occurred because they trusted a terrorist to enter unchecked through checkpoints wearing a suicide vest while many CIA people gathered at the gate to interrogate him. These people are not as smart as they think they are.

Panetta has a media driven reputation as a moderate but as the author said, “Panetta was and has always been a political hack.”

I advise he keep talking. This was the cleanest, most precise, most effective, take out of active combatants in the history of the world. It is the opposite of terrorism. Terrorists, like those killed by the pagers, rape and kill civilians and randomly lob missiles at civilians. Keep talking, Leon. It shows to any thinking person you are evil or stupid. Or both.

Another "plus" concerning exploding pagers etc. is psychological damage it could do. Members of Hezbollah might think twice before approaching electronic devices of any kind. Who knows what else the Israelis have "upgraded"? The "Hezzies" could be reduced to communicating via smoke signals. If the pagers don't get them, the psychological stress might.

For all the hype around the latest polls, which has flipped Nate Silver’s Electoral College projection, it doesn’t feel like she’s ahead decisively a la Joe Biden in 2020. If Kamala is mentioned, it’s her lack of interviews, her bleeding of support among core Democratic voter groups, and the polls not comporting with voter concerns. Trump is leading handily on the issues of crime, immigration, and the economy. The latest New York Times polling string isn’t good for her either. The comical aspect about that is that now liberals are saying the NYT’s polls are too Republican-friendly. Liberals will likely say that again since the latest NYT/Siena surveys are not good.

They Mean to Incite Violence 7 replies

Democrats and corporate media keep getting away with it. What they’re getting away with is inciting violence -- against Donald Trump, first and foremost. Two assassination attempts didn’t happen in a void. Trump didn’t provoke Thomas Matthew Crooks and Ryan Wesley Routh to try to kill him, despite Lester Holt’s spin. Holt’s broadside is predictable: project blame -- in this case, blame the victim. Democrats and their media watercarriers refuse to accept responsibility for wrongs, even when the proof is hiding in plain sight. Wrote Buck Sexton, via X, September 16: Problem the Democrats have run into – again -- is they cannot say “this person is as bad as Hitler"

As Katie covered earlier on Tuesday, thousands of Hezbollah terrorists were seriously injured when their pagers exploded. The reactions have come pouring in over social media, as Sam J at our sister site of Twitchy covered. One person who isn't too thrilled, though, is Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a member of the anti-Israel Squad. Tlaib herself has been particularly relentless in propagating anti-Israel falsehoods in the past and has even been censured by Congress as a result. In a quoted repost from Al-Jazeera English's Ali Harb, Tlaib referred to the explosion as "Disgusting." Harb was taking issue with a joke from Ron Kampeas, the Washington Bureau Chief

A poll released by the University of Chicago via the Chicago Project on Security and Threats offers a chilling account of the growing radicalism in America, particularly after the second foiled assassination attempt of former president Donald Trump, the poll found that 26 million Americans believe “the use of force” is justified to keep Trump from regaining the presidency. As discussed in my book, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” we have seen an increasing level of rage rhetoric in our political system.

The myth can be traced to Andrew Jackson. (Snip) [T]he core problem with mandate-mania is this: Presidential electoral majorities never speak with one voice in favor of a policy platform.
