So Panetta canceled a top secret CIA program dreamed up by Cheney to send covert assassins into foreign countries (probably with or without their permission) to kill top al Qaeda leadership, and the Democrats get their panties in a wad because nobody told Nancy?

Biden said "he lives in Pakistan" before correcting himself, meaning that in order to send him to hell we'd need to send people into Pakistan. With or without their permission, as Obama so often said. So, if not with the 10th Mountain Division, and not via covert CIA assassins, how then?

Does he have a reaction that you can convey to us?

MR. GIBBS: No

Clear?
