Leon Panetta

Kliphnote: "The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to U.S. President Barack Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."wiki  Now it seems like a joke.

  Leon Panetta Has a Few More Drone Wars Ready to Go

There once was a time, just last year, when Defense Secretary Leon Panetta thought the U.S. was thisclose to wiping al-Qaida off the face of the earth, once and for all. That appears to have gone up in the flames of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Now, a more dour Panetta believes that it's not enough to continue the drone strikes and commando raids in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia; they've got to expand "outside declared combat zones" to places like Nigeria, Mali and even Libya.
