Former CIA Director Leon Panetta referred to Israel’s pager operation as “terrorism” during a recent interview with CBS News.

In Lebanon last week, mass explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies belonging to members of the Iran-back Shiite group Hezbollah. The attack has been widely attributed to Israel’s intelligence organization Mossad, leading to the deaths of dozens of people and wounding thousands.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

So the brilliant and very targeted killing of members of a group that even Foggy Bottom has long designated a terrorist organization is now considered (by degenerates like Panetta) to be …terrorism.

Panetta then added that the actions by Israel could lead to more deadly operations going forward in the war.

A real Nostradumbass he is. Bad week for Panetta, Obama, and their ilk. And for their Iranian bedfellows

Well, in this case I think it’s pretty clear that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter

So, when Hezbollah attacks Israel that is not terrorism according to Panetta. What an idiot. Why the Jews vote for these Democrats is beyond me.

Panetta reminds me of Christopher Walken's mob punk in True Romance.

"Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken - The Sicilian Scene"

Panetta's mama probably taught a young Kamala Harris some of her political ladder-climbing techniques...
