NBC: Obama picks Panetta for CIA director


www.msnbc.msn.com

NBC News has confirmed that President-elect Barack Obama has chosen former Clinton White House chief of staff Leon Panetta to run the CIA.

Panetta was a surprise pick for the post, with no experience in the intelligence world. An Obama transition official and another Democrat disclosed his nomination on a condition of anonymity since it was not yet public.

Panetta was director of the Office of Management and Budget and a longtime congressman from California.

HOLY COW!!!! Panetta is the one that said he was in the bunker with Cheney on 911 and heard the soldier come in over and over telling Cheney how far out the pentagon plane was and that Cheney did not stop it..

Leading to the many conspiracy theories of 911 is the bunker and who was running the show and I will be darned if the man who saw it from the inside isn't the one that gets to head the CIA now, the group most likely responsible for 911 if any of the conspiracies are right, that is...

Wow ! Your right. I just checked it and Leon was supposed to have said Cheney was there at a certain time and that throws off Cheney's time line and proves that he was lying, allegedly.

Panetta, like Bush Sr., came out of nowhere to head the CIA.
I highly doubt Panetta has no prior CIA connections. .

I found this article slightly interesting:

Since 1992 I have taken an interested in the JFK Assassination and have devoted 14 years and over 200,000 dollars as a Federal Whistleblower to bring out the truth. Mr. Leon Panetta who praised Gates in James Sterngold's article has also supported my research in 1992-93 as a Congressman for Monterey Bay in which I suggested that George H.W. Bush was involved as was Vice-President Lyndon Baines Johnson in the assassination of President Kennedy. Today Panetta surrounds himself around CIA agencies in the Monterey Bay such as the Defense Language Institute. Was it the CIA who granted him his own Institute and is this why he sits on committees with CIA Directors ? Once a CIA agent or Director always an agent.

Panetta knew this and is presently working with Gates, who worked with Lyndon Johnson during the 1960s. I have letters from Lyndon Baines Johnson writing to and receiving letters from CIA agent George de Mohrenschildt (Lee Harvey Oswald's closest friend) seven months before Kennedy's death. Mr. Panetta has seen these letters as well as the one in which Mr. George H.W. Bush admits knowing Lee Harvey Oswald's closest friend since 1942. How can Panetta denounce Bush Sr. in 1992 and then do an about face, to praise Bush Sr.'s CIA director 1991-92 ? It was our current President's grandfather Prescott Bush's banking firm Brown Brothers & Harriman who approved a $300,000 line of credit to Oswald's closest friend, de Mohrenschildt (a CIA agent) six months before the assassination. Prescott Bush and Lyndon Baines Johnson were working together across the aisle from each other in the Senate, when, like Nancy Pelosi was the Senate Majority Leader for the Senate. The Democrats nor the Republicans do not want to touch on the subject of their involvement in Kennedy's assassination.

(Author's note: Lyndon Johnson's son-in-law sat on the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Report Committee in 2006.

No worries....Panetta is intensely studying his "CIA for Dummies" copy.
He like Obama will be guided from behind the big red velvet curtain.
